Where do you get this idea that you'll get better odds on Derby Day. Unless you like a horse in the "All Others", it's highly unlikely you'll get better odds on Derby Day than in Pool 1.

Of the 5 horses in Pool 1 that ran in last year's Derby:

POTN was 6-1 in the Derby, but 13-1 in Pool 1
Papa Clem was 12-1 in the Derby, but 44-1 in Pool 1
Choc Candy was 10-1 in the Derby, but 28-1 in Pool 1
W. Side Bernie was 32-1 in the Derby, but 42-1 in Pool 1
Friesen Fire was 7-2 in the Derby, but 18-1 in Pool 1
