I don't see Nobiz beating Circular Quay, so he probably won't go off at below 5-1. Street Sense though could very easily be a 2-1 favorite. He obviously loves Churchill (108 Beyer) and even the skeptics like me are beginning to think he might be something special. The horse he just beat might just be the number 2 3yr old out there.

I think Street Sense or Great Hunter could go off under 3-1 with any sort of impressive performance in the Blue Grass, though more likely Street Sense, because in regards to his BCJ win -- all of the same angles are going to be there that were there on BC day.

When looking at the favorite, four times in the "oughts" since 2000 has a Kentucky Derby favorite been below 3-1: Bellamy Road (around 5/2), Empire Maker (5/2), Point Given (around 2-1) and Fusaichi Pegasus (a little less than 5/2). In that bunch we had a blowout winner of the Wood, the second coming according to the pedigree experts, the second coming according to Bob Baffert, and a crazy son of Mr. Prospector.

Is there a 3-1 and under type horse in this year's field? Who knows?

Too early to really tell...
Blowout wins in any of the big preps left will sway things, but all things being equal, I see it similar to last year with several lukewarm favorites hovering around 9-2 and 7-1.

No horses will go off at 3/1 or under!!!!!

Sure there are some nice horses(Street Sense,Great Hunter,CQ,Scat Daddy)

You maybe get a big bet on 1 of them but still best odds will be a 5/1 or maybe a 9/2 on 1 or 2 of those horses


Just too many horses running.

I agree about SS. All this stressing him always getting the perfect trip leads me to beleive he is good enough to carve a perfect trip. Curlin is the horse that appears to have the raw talent o beat this bunch but as all will say not enough foundation.
