Here are the current (fixed) odds for the Classic:

1101 Lawyer Ron +385
1102 Street Sense +485
1103 Any Given Saturday +395
1104 Curlin +445
1105 George Washington +1015
1106 Awesome Gem +2550
1107 Diamond Stripes +4050
1108 Hard Spun +825
1109 Tiago +1415

"+385" means you are getting 3.85 to 1. I like those odds on LR.

TheGreek's odds from Friday were pretty close to the final odds.

Here is each horse with TheGreek's odds followed by the closing betting odds (converted to moneyline format):

1101 Lawyer Ron +385 , +390
1102 Street Sense +485, +250
1103 Any Given Saturday +395, +390
1104 Curlin +445, +440
1105 George Washington +1015, +900
1106 Awesome Gem +2550, +2830
1107 Diamond Stripes +4050, +3880
1108 Hard Spun +825, +810
1109 Tiago +1415, +1280

The only big difference was on Street Sense, where TheGreek offered 4.85-1 compared to 2.5-1 in the pool. The only 2 horses to go off with higher odds in the pool than at TheGreek were Lawyer Ron (ever so slightly!) and Awesome Gem.
