Predictions on how many of the 23 don't make it to the starting gate for the Derby? Looks like a bunch to me.

At the risk of eating my words down the road...
...can't they come up with a better option than Aikenite? |

I don't see any as appealing whatsoever from a betting perspective in this group. However, I'm also banking on the Mine That Bird effect with so many people trying to hit a longshot because a 50-1 winning last year will be fresh in their minds. The MTB story will be the one that people who rarely bet all year will be hearing in the days leading up to the Derby anyways, which will help the odds on the horses who have a better shot.

Did I miss the race that Homeboykris ran that merits his inclusion here when he was not in pool one or two? I am baffled by that one.

I can't find any horse on here whose odds may be significantly lower on Derby day (if they make it) other than the 2 favorites, and that's pointless to bet anyway. |

The average odds for "All Others" in Pool 3 since 2000 is 14.4-1. The lowest it's ever closed was 6.7-1 in 2004. Right now it's 3-1.
Granted, they are holding Pool 3 a week earlier than usual, and normally we'd have the result of the Wood to go on. But that's still a pretty large deviation from the average. It'll probably climb some before the close tomorrow. --Dunbar

I agreed with you at first impression ... but actually, I don't blame them for including him. But you know he's at least scheduled to make his next start in the Ky Derby .. and the crop is so laughably bad outside of maybe 7 or 8 horses. About the only thing Mine That Bird had going for him last year was that he earned enough Graded Earnings to get into the thing when he won some abysmal 2yo stake in Canada. They wanted to take him back and use the Kentucky Derby as a prep for the Belmont.... an idea so crazy that it truly deserved a blanket of roses. |

37-1 seems a little low on Pleasant Prince but if I had to bet -

Schoolyard Dreams and SuperSaver are good bets IMO, i think both will be half those odds on Derby Day.

Noble's Promise looks decent @ 25-1. It's not a stretch to see him beating Dublin again to win the Ark. When he does you'll likely get 12-1 on derby day.

Eskendereya with Looking and Lucky pays $42 while both of those with all other 3 yr olds pays $94 - $98
While an exacta box with Schoolyard Dreams - is what this thing is all about more digits than spaces 9999 I'm throwing Lucking at Lucky out and boxing some dream bets including Pleasant Prince I just noticed - for the exacta they don't show a pay off for all other 3 yr olds with all other 3 yr olds.

caracortado at 50/1 seems like a good play to me.
