Cobalt Blue was seen by Nick Zito as the single most outstanding individual in the SAR yearling sale two years ago and is heartbroken not to have him in his shed. Adore the Gold is an overachieving sort who is just plain dead game and was actually best in the Fountain of Youth.

Best current future odds
With TheGreek finally putting up some futures, I thought it would be worth seeing what's out there for the horses on the Dispatch poll.
Best future odds for Dispatch poll horses: 1 Street Sense 8.5-1 Greek 2 Circular Quay 14-1 Greek 3 Any Given Saturday 12-1 Greek 4 Great Hunter 14-1 Greek 5 (Ravel) 6 Scat Daddy 22-1 Greek 7 Nobiz Like Shobiz 14-1 Greek 8 Notional 25-1 Greek 9 Stormello 30-1 CRIS 10 Curlin 20-1 CRIS, Greek, Bodog 11 Adore The Gold 40-1 Greek 12 Ketchikan 40-1 Greek 13 Hard Spun 25-1 Greek 14 Cobalt Blue 28-1 Bodog 15 Chelokee 75-1 CRIS 16 Cowtown Cat 50-1 Greek, Bodog 17 Sam P. 80-1 Greek 18 Liquidity 33-1 CRIS 19 Zanjero 60-1 Greek 20 Summer Doldrums 40-1 Greek, World "Greek" is thegreek.com. "CRIS" is now bookmaker.com. "World" is World Sports Exchange. "Bodog" is, er, Bodog. These odds were there a few hours ago. There may be better available at non-A-rated books. There is also this interesting prop at TheGreek: Which trainer will win the Kentucky Derby 2101 Todd Pletcher +285 2102 Doug Oneill +485 2103 Any Other -325 (+285 means you get 2.85 to 1) --Dunbar

Street Sense back on top - albeit narrowly
Immediately following his Tampa Bay Derby win, I was anxious to see how many could become believers in Street Sense. Honestly, I was a bit surprised. He is now ranked #1 in the Dispatch Derby Poll... but not my much!
