A really good question...Numbers players will pound her...except for the sheets guys who will expect a bounce.

I say 2-1 or 3/2....and it will be a freaking gift unless she doesnt relax. That will be her eventual undoing, IMO. She hasnt been eye-ball to eye-ball in the lane in a long while.

If there are 14 (13 colts) in the race, RA will be 2-1 or so. The other question is what odds will MTB be? Think about how nuts it is for the Oaks winner to be 2-1 or less in the Preakness, while the Derby winner is 8-1 or more......

I'll go with odds of 8/5 or less...............she won't get any of my money (on top at least). She just increases the value of the other runners in the race. Now, just have to find somebody else to settle on. !@#$%^&

She will likely be around even money...maybe 6-5. It's not often one looks at a PP of grade 1 race and it shows 1st by 20 1/4. That will be hard to overlook.

With Mine That Bird being 50-1 or so in the Derby, nothing will surprise me. But if I had a gun to my head... I'd say she's 5-2/3-1 and he's a tick or two higher. Handicappers won't bet MTB, but the public will.

The public, especially the women, will bet the "female" horse before the "Derby" horse.
