I still think it's a short price but you can get Rags to Riches at 8/1 as compared to the 7/2 in the futures, Exhale 40/1 compared to 27/1, etc. Only drawback is the $100 maximum wager.

Hello?!!! Bodog's "Field" is not the same as the Future Wager "All others". Instead of 23 horses, like the Future Wager, there are 50 individual horses listed at Bodog. So, 5-1 on Bodog's Field may not be anywhere as good as 5-2 in the Future Wager.

i forget who said it earlier -- but this year i really do feel that the derby winner was on that list as a single betting interest. not sure who just yet, but I get the feeling that we've seen him and we know him already.

Yeah, I just glanced at it. Bodog does offer odds on more horses so you are getting a few less in the field. I still think 5-1 on the bodog field is better than 5-2 on the futures field considering a horse like Summer Doldrums is in their field. I'm sure alot of people on here are aware you can get horses at better odds at a sportsbook and I'm sure some are not. The post was obviously for those who were not.
