It's 50-50... sometimes I've found much better value with the CD pool, sometimes much better in Vegas... and that holds true for both the derby futures and the BC futures.

I don't think much of Z Humor, but if you do, 80-1 for a horse that hasn't missed a workout and already has enough graded earnings is worth a look.

My guess is that the "now horses" like a War Pass, Court Vision or Pyro would be a better play in Vegas while you might do better with a proven horse that is not at the forefront today like a Crown of Thorns or El Gato Malo in this wager.

One thing to keep in mind is that we are looking at something like 5 or 6% of the total pool right now. The odds will change dramatically before closing on Sunday.
