pgardn,
The only one that looks good to me is Exhale...but not at 20-1.
In the Oaks...all others.

I'm betting Exhale and Ravel. Since I'm not betting a ton of money I'm waiting until the last minute on Sunday to see if I'm getting better odds in the future pool or at bodog.com. Ravel is 22-1 at bodog so I suspect I'll be betting him there. Exhale is 40-1 at bodog. I'm not sure if he'll be that high in the futures pool come Sunday or not. As far as Exhale is concerned I'm basically betting on whether or not he starts in the Derby. If he does(which is a big if) he will be much lower than the 40-1 odds being offered considering the fact that he will have to run VERY well in the Lewis and Santa Anita Derby to have enough earnings to make the starting gate in the KY Derby. I'm thinking I'm going to put $50 on Ravel at 22/1 and $50 on Exhale wherever I can get the best odds.

I'll look at the odds on Sunday and maybe play one who didn't start this weekend. Looking @ Belgravia, Great Hunter, Adore the Gold @ > 35-1.

I have never bet these, and I probably won't start this year, but as I type, Adore the Gold is 46-1. That seems like a pretty good value after his race in the Swale.
