So far at least I don't think anyone fits that description, a horse to avoid. There simply is nobody that strong.

NoBiz has been my top choice for a long time but my confidence in him has slipped a bit. I'm looking for him to show a new dimension in the FOY.

I feel exactly the same way. Right now there are a number of horses that might be pretty good but nobody has come close to seperating himself from the field.

Save Dreaming of Anna of course.

I have liked him as top choice as well but agree 100% with comments about "new dimension". He seems to still be figuring things out and granted he might just do that by Derby day, but I am not at all impressed with who he has beated, ie Scat Daddy and Zanjero. Drums of Thunder might be Ok down the line I guess, but all in all he is winning on sheer ability while seemingly still goofing around.

Adore the Gold is my Derby horse as of right now. . . I better bet him big on Saturday because that'll probably be the last time he'll be a decent price. . .

You could have got better than 100-1 odds on Adore the Gold (104/1 in fact) as early as three days ago, through the offshore site Ehorse's betting exchange

Love Mike Gorham as a trainer but still have my doubts about ATG. Prado on a plus but certainly have questions.

But sure would take 104-1 on him

What am I missing here:

Adore the Gold has ZERO SHOT --Prado or otherwise.

You can still get 83-1 at CRIS.

It's BetCris.com, hockey. I'm sorry I didn't stick around long enough yesterday to see your question, because right now the Derby line is not up at CRIS. It's been up for at least a week-and-a-half straight. It was definitely up when I posted yesterday, because I rechecked Adore The Gold's odds before posting. The odds had been as high as 100-1 a week ago.

Hopefully they'll put the Derby futures back up before the weekend.
