well either way he is shaping up to take a lot of money and be a great bet against in that case.

Why? He crushes that field with a anything close to his Met. Look what the runner up has done since.

What is a proper futures price on this horse right now? Future meaning you lose in the wildly unlikely event he doesn't run.

Mor Spirit is HARDLY anything close to resembling a lock in a field that looks to have Pavel, Practical Joke, and a few other quality horses lining up in the gate.

I was hoping Reddam and O'Neill took a swing in the Classic with Pavel. Thought for sure they'd be doing so after the injury to Irap.

For all of the negativity I see posted towards the Breeder's Cup and some of the schedules that trainers are taking leading up to that weekend, I'm pumped up as can BE to wager on these sets of races.

Dew, SethCarter, and myself are going to have a field day. A bonafide BONANZA if you will!

You have opinions on everything...so share one here. You're not an "I don't know" kind of guy.

Im not a fan of the other major players as much as others. Practical Joke belongs in the Sprint. Im not sure about Pavel at all, his Dandy was good, but he beat nothing at Parx.
3-1 I guess. The layoff is an obvious concern though.

3:1 seems like a horrendous price given you lose if he doesn't run. I'll believe it when I see it, but I don't underestimate Baffert. Anyone else, and I would book him at 8:1.

You're not the only one that thinks that about Joke.

Agreed on Practical Joke.

So if you've got a fair futures bet at 3-1 on MS, what would you take on Arrogate?
