win or lose today i dont think he has much of a shot in the derby, and im confused how he is getting bet down to the favorite in the derby future pool.... he has been green in both starts, he has been very impressive but in the derby facing 20 other horses i dont give him much of a shot, not with only 3 races going in

The fact that he is now the favorite in the future pool gives me faith that it still might be possible to make some money in this game.

then how can you like nobiz? it's a similar situation. curlin is green due to only having a couple starts, but nobiz should be further along maturity-wise, but he isn't. he's facing the same type field in ky, same 20 horses, same high-stress situation. you don't seem very consistent in your thinking. curlin is very talented, and if he gets his head in the right place, he has a good shot.
