So, on the off chance that Setsuko gets in, who rides him?

Awesome Act looks to be playing the part of the wise guy horse with those odds. I was probably going to take a shot, depending on post-position, but no way at 15-1. I was thinking more like 25 or 30-1. I guess there's so many horses with absolutely no shot, that even horses with marginal talent are going to get bet.

I can't see Lookin' at Lucky going off at 6-1. My guess is 4-1 or 9-2. Sidney's Candy I see as 8 or 9 to one.

Illman pegs Endorsement as his wise guy horse on his blog, for whatever that is worth.

makes sense

as far as value goes:

lookin at lucky @ 6-1
Ice box @ 30-1
mission impazzible @ 30-1

all seem like solid value plays....

Absolutely. Not a Mission Impazible fan (as I said last year with Musket Man, the day a half to Forest Camp wins the Derby, American breeders need to hang it up), but Ice Box should run huge, and Lookin at Lucky will be a great play at 6-1.
