Big Brown Derby Odds off of win

Off that effort.....underlay no doubt. If War Pass comes up a clunker next week, Big Brown will be 2-1 or less.

Update

The number is on Bodog BUT I just noticed that the wager was closed so it probably was prior to yesterdays race... I'll repost when it opens but my thoughts are 4-1 or less

War Pass will probably come up HUGE next week ala Bellamy Road and set the table for heartbreak derby day.

You make a good point here. A super effort in the Wood could make for an interesting odds scenario going into the Derby.

Good as any in this group, fun to root for a horse with pedigree like that.

I'll be rooting for a horse in the Derby as well, but that doesn't mean I think he can actually win it. Hint hint:

All kidding aside, I didn't care for Georgie's last race when he didn't switch leads. If he fails to do that in the Derby, he'll have a hard time winning... running on the wrong lead like that can make a horse tired and that would be the last thing he needs in a 10 panel race. JMO of course.

I don't see anything exciting on the west coast.

The performance was impressive, especially all the hype regarding the poor post. Elysium Fields was very disappointing, Tomcito ran a decent race off a lay off and Steve predicted a good run from Smooth Air.Lets see what happens after the Wood and which War Pass shows up, I could see a speed duel in the derby setting up nicely for El Gato Malo or Court Vision.

Reported to have a fever going into the race. Now thats away to ruin a good horse.

The last thing I heard was that he came out of the race fine. The connections said the heat of the day bothered him.

NOT being very good also might've played a role. Watching him get zapped at CRC in December, sort of clued me in that this dude is not exactly top tier.
