But remember,the morning line maker has to anticipate how the public will bet the race. The first factor to consider is the betting publics love of betting the class of the race............especially Gr.1 horses vs. non graded types. History shows they pound the class runners. Secondly,lets try this: Throw out the three horses names for just a second. Horse "A" is a double Grade 1 winner.............the 2yo Champion who just ran giant in a race he badly needed. Horse "B" is nearly undefeated,already a Grade 1 winner.........who just refused to let the Eclipse Award winning Champion by him in the stretch. Horse "C" has looked lights out both times,just galloping...........but those wins came in a Maiden race & AlwOC(in the mud). Also factor in that horses "A"/"B" are the top two rated 3yo's out there. So all things considered, is it really that big a reach to say horse "C" would be a well respected third choice lining up next to horses "A" & "B" ?

I was aware of the Derby finals for pool two when I posted. I'm basing my opinion on how I've seen the public bet over the years in a certain situation. And yes, I think it's a fair point to say that if the public likes Justify in the Derby future 2.........they would make him the chalk @ SA. But I also think the Derby futures speculators are assuming Justify cruises in his final Derby prep.........he may very well,but with his two race resume I just don't think he'd do it as the chalk if Bolt/McKinzie were in the same race. I'll add on here.... I'm pretty sure Justify isn't going to FLA.........but I wonder if he'd be favored against that bunch over the Gulfstream oval ? More: I can see Justify rolling in his final Derby prep...........but I believe in the Derby his lack of seasoning will catch up with him. And I'll be curious how Mr. White(I think he still makes the ML @ SA)sorts out his line.....
