Curlin has run against nothing and will get demolished against the big ones.

If CQ is not hurt anything above 7/1 will be great on him

If Lawyer Ron was in this crop.....he might be a good pick.

No way you get 8/1 on Curlin. I don't care what history says, Curlin will be the favorite. 3/1 if you are lucky. I've never been a fan of CQ, but I think the layoff will raise some doubt and you may get a higher price than you should. Outside of Curlin, I think the Scat Daddy and Hard Spun might this years "worth a shot." There are a whole lot of angles that will be presented and all of them will probably make sense. It's gonna be interesting that's for sure.

99-1. Duh.

Brother Derek would top this crop.

I just hope that I don't throw the ticket in the trash at any odds.

It'll be interesting to see the fig that the beyer boys give to Curlin. My guess is, it will be a good one, considering how far he beat the rest of the field. I know he's bucking history with so few starts, but the race reminded me a lot of Smarty's Arkansas Derby when he decided to put Purge away. It was sort of like "ho hum, I guess it's time to do some serious running" and that was the end of that. Comparisons with Lawyer Ron seem more appropriate for a lot of the rest of the field for the upcoming KD.

On Derby day I dont care about odds. I know that I am going to get fair odds on the horse that I like. I usually do not bet the Derby as a seperate betting interest. I use the Derby as the last leg of my pick 3 and I usually go 10 deep.

Yeah, I always get fair odds on every Derby horse I like, too. But that's in Bizarro World. Back hear on Earth I actually have to look at the odds some and decide if I'm getting some value.
