It may not have been the best field, but there were surely better options to make the favorite than Tomcito.

The only horse for which TheGreek felt compelled to lower its odds significantly in the last week is Adriano. One week ago it was 35.5 to 1. Now Adriano is 20.5 to 1 at TheGreek. Every other horse is very close to the odds it was a week ago.

Odds on Big Brown have risen slightly from 3.05-1 to 3.25-1. Odds on Pyro and Col. John have dropped slightly.
