That went a lot lower than I thought it would. Now, even I have to say that you are correct in your assumptions of that. His Gotham race was not good enough to be anywhere close to those odds. Still, Visionaire is not slow.

Hooves gave the best opinion of this horse IMO. I agree with him right now.

I wouldn't. The derby won't fall apart this year. It'll be a speedway.

Like I will cry from something someone says on a message board

Your comment the other day was mean in another post. I'm a problematic poster because I don't worship BTW, I don't agree with everything he says, and I'm not afraid to disagree like most others on here. It's easy to follow the crowd, but I don't like to take the easy way out. I'm problematic because I don't call others clueless, idiots (with the exception of one DTer because of his comment the other day), or other various names. I simply state my opinions, and I try not to be derogatory. I give others credit when they are right, and usually take everyone's opinions into consideration.

Good luck trying to make me cry. I don't cry anyway. You would be hard pressed to find someone who is tougher than me.

Oh yeah, and my opinion may mean nothing to you, but several have asked me not to leave, so I won't. I don't back down to bullies anyway.

I took Monba today at 35-1. I'm throwing out his performance in the FOY, which probably classifies me as "clueless and blind," hence the sunglasses.

People will probably get a better price on Pyro in the likely event that he can't hold his current form on Kee's polytrack.

Closed at 6.5-1. Pretty generous, IMO. It would have been 6.6-1 without my bet. Sorry! ;>)

You can get the actual 'will pays' at: http://www.kentuckyderby.com/2008/ne...ce-pool-2-kdfw , and then clicking "final odds" at the bottom of the page.

Among the favs, Pyro is 4-1, War Pass is 4.6-1, and All Others is 6.5-1.

Among the "99-1"'s, Smooth Air is actually 192-1, Gayego is 112.10-1, and Nikki's is 99.20-1.

Who appears to be the best value in there? To me War Pass, Cool Coal Man and all others look like the value. I'm wondering why Cool Coal Man should be higher odds than Elysium Fields. Could it be his running style or pedigree compared with Elysium Fields? The fact that Zito trains War Pass and may point CCM somewhere else? After reading the FOY recap on drf it seemed like Zito conceded CCM got a great trip and wasn't inclined to point him to the Fla. derby.
