Okay, who do you think the people that were going to bet War Pass are going to bet now?
Zito obsessors: Cool Coal Man.
Front runner lovers: Bob Black Jack or Recapture the Glory
Maybe just the best horse trained by the best trainer, Big Brown.
I say those 4 horses are going to take the majority of the cash that was to be bet on War Pass maybe in this order...
1) Big Brown- Logically the best horse trained by the guy with more tricks up his sleeve than a magician.
2) Cool Coal Man- Some people just want Zito to win this badly and dont wouldnt want to be without a win ticket if Zito were to win this race.
3) Bob Black Jack- Hes been the "4th most mentioned California horse", if you will. Gayego and Colonel John are hot, hot, hot in the media right now, but El Galo Malo's stock has plummeted and probably wont even run in the Derby.
4) Recapture the Glory- the least because not many people even know the Illinois Derby is a race.
I think Big Brown goes off 2/1 and Colonel John about 5/1, and guess which one of these I think is the bigger underlay? Yup, Colonel John at 5/1.
