Hey funny guy... isn't the great thing about this game is everyone is not only entitled to their opinion but back it financially (unlike the rest of sport in this country outside of Nevada?)

There is nothing wrong with 'liking' Casino Drive either as a horse or in this spot. However given his likely odds, I think Steve is absolutely right to NOT 'like' him in this spot.

For those who didn't hear the origin for Chris' "link" here... when pressed yesterday on ATR to endorse Casino Drive, I finally said to the caller "if he wins the Classic I'll take up needlepoint." That's the reference for QC's post...

'Twas a solid link on his part, no doubt- I laughed a little, but I still think you are correct in standing against Casino Drive here.

I really wasn't looking for an endorsement, just how he stacked up against the Euros and what price you could take on them. After looking at the PP's, it is very clear that over 30-1 on "CD" is needed.... even though the three Euros have not raced on anything other than turf, they are miles above "CD" in all respects. With that said, what are fair win odds on the three Euros trying this new surface? The "Duke" sticks out more than the other two.... which I couldn't take under 20-1 on.
