I can't believe that Great Hunter is now at 35-1. I got him at 24-1 and thought it was a steal. Besides his BlueGrass finish this guy has always fought with the big dogs in his races. I mean 35-1 seems so high, he should be around 15-1 / 20-1 Max.

People on Pinni keep pounding Curlin and CQ. Curlin was +210 yesterday afernoon. Do people no realize just bet him on derby day and you will probably get 9-2 odds on him.

Keep in mind that no one is betting Curlin at +210. But someone(s) probably did make a big bet at 3-1, which then knocked the Pinnacle price down to +210. Now, as the other horses are getting some action, Curlin has risen to +250. I'll be surprised if Curlin's odds don't rise back over 3-1 at Pinnacle.

Even making a big bet on Curlin at 3-1 is hard to understand when TheGreek has been offereing +445 to +465 all along. I would have expected anyone who might make a big bet at Pinnacle would be aware of TheGreek.

As for Great Hunter at 35-1, I can imagine how annoying that must be for you!

Looks like those wanting 6/1 on Street Sense on Derby day might be out of luck. Everyone seems to be on the SS train.

Great Hunter at 35-1 is absolutely shocking to me.
