I think very little. Maybe half a point. The Derby takes more "novice" money (i.e. people who bet on races casually and only/mainly use BSFs) than any other race of the year, so I don't think all of the players that use the figures you listed above will have that much of an impact.

But like J said, is the novice money going to be able to detect the potential turnaround on that pattern angle?

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled, I just don't see him as your favorite anymore. Wouldn't be shocked if Nobiz gets bet down more than he does too.

i really hope he is not the favorite!! I am just saying that is where my money goes! I'll have to find a few other horses to play some exotics, but I have plenty of time for that!

I don't know. There are a lot of "big shots" who come out on Derby day and bet hundreds of dollars at a time without more than a passing knowledge of racing.

I agree with Ateam about this. On Derby Day, there are far more "big shots" with deep pockets betting equal thousands to match anything the whales are churning.

Michael Jordan, Kid Rock, and every other celebrity, sports superstar, politician, and CEO at Churchill and throughout the country, going to the windows, is not saying . . . "give me $20 to win on the 9 horse."

Many are betting hundreds, and thousands.
