KDFW LIVE ODDS

Sweet Ducky 50/1 and Dailed In 10/1 what were they like 2 lengths apart?

That's a pretty accurate line on those two Freddy.

Rogue Romance at 30-1 is interesting indeed

Rogue Romance's morning line is irrelevant - he runs on Saturday and betting doesn't close until around mid-day Sunday.

If he wins impressively - his price will come way down. If he runs a dud he'll take almost no money in the final 24 hours of the bet.

I hear ya. Should be an interesting race Saturday.

I find betting on Bodog at Fixed Odds just prior to a horses prep is the way to do it. Of course my 100-1 on Tapizar isn't looking so good. Think Repole will pay me off not to bet Uncle Moe?

Field will be 6-5 or less?

I don't think it should be and it probably won't be.

I actually thought that with Mo being such a strong early favorite, the field might end up around 2-1, but that's probably too high.

I guess CD (or whoever) still hasn't been able to justify spending the cash to update the tote system to allow for more than 23 individual horses. I can't imagine it could be that hard.

thanks!

Of the 23....only 10 look like they have a prayer.

Strong Contender:

Uncle Mo

Somewhat of a contender:

To Honor And Serve
Silver Medallion
Dialed In

Marginal chance:

Clubhouse Ride
Mucho Macho Man (juice trainer would help)

X Factor:

Jaycito
The Factor
Machen
Soldat

I dont think your marginal chance horses have a prayer. I dont get Silver Medallion at all. Your other 7 are all strong.

Look at who trains Silver Meds. 99.8% of his horses are much, much better on dirt than turf or synthetic.

I know this. I was recently reading your old posts about Rachel and how she had no chance in the Classic because of his stats on synthetic surfaces. I get all that. I just dont think the horse is much horse. He was not on my radar before and winning that race against that competition does not change my mind.

15-1 on Brethen....OMG

I think the only possible value on this list could be Jaycito.

Uncle Mo should be 2/1 to win the race, and 8/1 to make the race.
