Wow.............does that put things in perspective............I wonder how Mr. White would answer that question?

Winning margins don't mean very much on synthetics. That said, still a bad line.

Overall these BC lines are some of the worst I've ever seen, but in the case of the Classic is it the line that's bad or is it a bad public opinion?

Agreed, it is almost as if no thought went into it at all. Two favs, the rest 12-1 and some with no shot. That said, bad public opinion abounds on big days.

I dont believe Gio Ponti or Quality Road go off anywhere near 12/1. I think more like 8/1 on QR, 5/1 on Gio Ponti.

When I saw 12-1 on Gio Ponti I laughed. And I am not even betting any of the BC.
