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.

Preakness and I agree.

Yeah, forgot about that.

Still don't think that race was anything special though.

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.
