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.

I agree with the distance limitations. If they keep her short, she could be a nice one. They probably put her in the pool just to take some ill-advised money that gets thrown at these things.

Quality Road has drifted up to 17-1 early and without a race this weekend, he may get lost in the shuffle.

The panel who determines the individual betting interests has been terrible this year. In Pool 1 they had a bunch of big fig sprinters. Here they include sprinter Big Drama who hasn't run and missed at least a month of training in Feb and March. On the filly side they include a filly whose trainer says she's not pointing to the Oaks in Dream Empress. McPeek said in January that the was pointing to the Oaks at Epsom and that she's not a dirt horse. These guys work for the Form, but do they read the Form?
