If i'm not mistaken, I believe Steve said on ATR today that the morning line on Brass Hat is 20-1. LOL!! I hope he stays at or above those odds on Saturday. What a ridiculous morning line for a horse with his credentials.

That is a truly absurd line. He will be 3rd choice, at worst.

He's run one race in 13 months and as said a 98 Beyer all out to beat the great Student Council, also in this race. I think he has a shot...and could move forward, but most in the race have done more than him this year so far. I think those odds are about right I think.

I agree. If we are going to judge them by the distant past, let's bring Alysheba back and make him 8/5. Based on what's known at this point, I'd say he should be over 15/1.

From what I've seen, you're lucky to get 20-1 in the BC Classic futures pools on Brass Hat. I got find a bookie if that line stays the same...

I understand it's a nice story and all, but the horse should be double digit odds in here. And 20-1 in the Breeders Cup? He should be 50-1, maybe higher as of right now. First the chances he or anyone gets there is slim nowadays. He's obviously not the soundest of animals judging by the gaps in his form. To take anything near 20-1 on him in the BC is foolish in my opinion.

DH,
I hope you're sitting down.
Wonder of wonders...
I totally agree!!!!!!!!!

I doubt he'll care. Sitting down is still advised for this post, so he can catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzs more easily.
