What the hell was that horse named? I think he was from New Mexico.

Ricks Natural Star?

[Danzig]

he won the first part of the race.

How can anyone say he should be 50-1?? His beyers are on par with the rest of the 3 year old crop. He's a grade 2 winner, in only his 2nd start! I think people don't like him because of all the attention he's getting.

It was a grade 2 in name only. It just is strange to me that people are talking so highly of a horse that will be such underlaid odds. Basically because of who his dam has produced. It just doesn't make much sense to me from a betting perspective.

He now has a race and win over the track, he cruised around off of a long layoff. Who is really def. better, unless your taKING a shot with a horse who has never ran over the surface Example: Curlin or any of the Europeans. I will be sticking to the horse proven over Synthetics. Casino, Go Between and Tiago.

Well that makes things easier...

So, what would you take as fair odds in the win spot?

At least 30 to 1.

He's still an underlay at 30:1.

Not really. 12-1 is a solid line on him. There is no early speed and he could easily wire this field. Plus he has a win over the track.

That "win over the track" angle is always a great barometer. Court Vision, for example, parlayed that angle into a successful 13th place finish in this year's Derby.
