Perhaps, but I'm sure that some of our resident chalk lovers can come up with some "inexpensive" combinations that will net a part of the no doubt thousand-dollar-plus trifecta payout (e.g., BB, CD w/ BB, CD w/ all).

Considering his overall lack of seasoning ... he was very impressive.

The casual fan won't know who Better Than Honour is. They will just look at the program and think..."Oh look it's Big Brown the Derby winner...I'll bet on him!" I think there will be some sort of value on Casino Drive.

The casual fan will know exactly who Better than Honour is ... the media will hype it all day long, I'm sure.

I know that some define value as public odds better than your own estimation of the horse's true odds. But 5-2 just doesn't do it for me.
