Some interesting ones out there... I would have thought that Goldikova would have been shorter than 2-1, especially since Miday is 7-4.

The Mile is a lot more competitive than the FM Turf.

if Paco, Makfi et al go to Churchill, she could well be higher than 2-1!

Those are interesting, a mare (defending champ yes but still) and a 3YO that got creamed when he ran at CD (circumstances dictated that I know and I like him) co-favs in the Classic?

personally, I think Zenyatta is a MUCH better bet at 4-1 than Looking at Lucky at the same price.

Not sure, one thing I have learned is a trip (regardless of how bad) over the CD surface is valuable. LAL is as honest a runner as they come, if he doesn't get beat up he typically wins. 14 horse field and some experience gives him a better shot than last year. That and he truly is a better horse on dirt.

I agree. I'd also take Blame at 6-1 and Afleet Express at 12-1 before I took Lookin at Lucky at 4-1.

Can't open the links here … but it's unbelievable to me that Blame isn't the BCC fav at this point.

If Rachel has a dominating next start and if Quality Road runs one of those huge beyers AND if they both decide to go in the Classic this fall, the oddsboard will be an attractive one for any horse that can be deemed a contender. Obviously if you want to bet this race, you would have to want to root for QR and Rach in their next races.

Blame at 6-1 right now is just silly. Im not saying I like him, but how the hell is he not the favorite right now?

10 Panels?
LAL and Z have been successful beyond 9.
Only reason I can think of, he certainly deserves to be.

When was Lookin at Lucky successful beyond 9? And Blame's stretch-running style certainly doesn't suggest that 10 furlongs will be a problem.

I think most Blame fans including a large one who hangs out on this website all thin Blame will LOVE THE 10F TRIP. Im pretty sure that are banking on him improving going 10f. Plus the race being at Churchill a track we know he loves, 6-1 is crazy. If Blame wins this JCGC and he will be no more then 6-5 to do that, then there is no possible way he is over 5-2 in the BCC.

.........yeah, looking at lucky could not beat zenyatta at any distance on any surface. blame at 6-1 would be sweet.
