I will forever be of the opinion that Furthest Land was one of the best overlays in the history of the Breeders' Cup. These were the horses that went off at shorter prices than him in the 2009 Dirt Mile (he went off 21-1):

Mr. Sidney (20-1)
Neko Bay (13-1)
Chocolate Candy (13-1)
Pyro (8-1)
Bullsbay (6-1)
Midshipman (3-1)
Mastercraftsman (7/5)

I agree.
I was astonished how people just disregarded his KY Cup Classic win in the race before at TWP.
I think he ran a 107 Beyer on the Poly there.
All he had to do was repeat that race.

It didn't hurt he had the greatest trip of all time in the BC Pro-ride Mile.
