Derby Future added for November

[Dunbar]

One thing CD should be able to easily do is show odds greater than 99-1. Several horses will probably be well over 100-1. You'd think they'd get more takers showing 150-1 than 99-1.

Here are the odds (to 1) of "All Others" in Pool 1 from previous years, which usually occurred in late Jan or early Feb:

1999 4.1
2000 3.5
2001 3.0
2002 2.8
2003 2.2
2004 1.8
2005 2.1
2006 3.0
2007 2.6
2008 3.3
2009 1.9
2010 1.5
2011 2.1
2012 1.5
2013 1.6

2008 was an interesting year. Someone made a moderately large bet on the 2nd day on "All Others", so that when the DRF reported the odds in Saturday's edition, it was 6-5 on "All Others". (it wouldn't have taken a very large bet to do that, given the small early action on the 1st days.) I was apparently not the only one who lost interest in "All Others" then, only to see it close at 3.3-1, odds which I'd have been thrilled to get.
