Big Drama is now off the trail, just hours after being listed as one of the 23 individual betting interests in Pool 2.

I really, really want to go off on a tangent right now.

I kind of like Bear's Rocket at 50-1 but if he runs well at TBD like I expect him to, he won't be that price.

Desert Party is a halfway decent price at 30-1. It's not great, but at least he has a shot and isn't 10,12-1. Most of the odds are too low take this far out.

I like the 6-1 on Rachel Alexandra.

Elusive Heat is the 3rd shortest price horse?

I thought they were going to keep her sprinting?

They passed on running her seven furlongs last time against a pair of horses she photo'd with after a typically silly and overly passive ride Prado specializes in giving speed sprinters.

Strong rumor that she's entered in the 6f G3 Cicada this weekend @ AQU.... My guess is the 7f G2 Comely afterward and never even a remote thought entertained with regard to this race. Could be wrong, but it sure seems doubtful given her success short and her ped - a G1 1 1/8th would be insane for her


EDIT- NOT going in the Cicada -

I wouldn't be surprised to see her in the Cicada, it being a G2 and all. The Comely is actually a mile, but I agree that a race like that certainly wouldn't set her up for the Oaks. Her being the 3rd choice is a tad ridiculous and I don't really see her getting 8.5 furlongs let alone 9.

Yeah, I might have him rated too high. We'll know more this weekend.

Here's a link to the real time Future Wager odds.

http://www.kentuckyderby.com/2009/future-wager/odds

As of right now, about 4:50EST, you can be the first to bet on the Bears Rocket/Dunkirk exacta.

I guess you are right, because right now they are showing the "Pool Total" to be $6,886, yet somehow several of the exactas show "Exacta Odds" of 11,155.20. Is that for a 50c exacta bet, or what?

Also of interest...it looks like Big Drama has taken some exacta action. That's weird. Couldn't they block betting on the "scratched" horse?

Why would they want to do that?

Actually, i thought about this for a while last night and whomever did it is really smart. If the rules apply like they could, I.E. you scratch into the post time favorite, you are getting the raceday Derby favorite at a ridiculously high price. I'd check into it to verify that's the case though.

Dunkirk is currently 5-1. LOL
