Not to mention 3 idiots setting it up for a closer.

can only guess what odds Visionaire gets if the top 2 ml favs aren't scratched...

He was best. Visionaire ran through the track bias even with the pace setting up for him. The 1 and 8 should have quit out of the trifecta.

If the favorite and second choice don't scratch, I think Visionaire would have been about 4-1 or 9-2. I actually think the morning-line was reasonable. You had a pretty good 3 year old who appeared to be a router taking on some hard-knocking older spriners in a sprint race. I think 6-1 was a reasonable morning-line before the scratches. I would have probably made him slightly lower. I would have probably made him 5-1 before the scratches. After the scratches, I would have made him about 5-2 or so.

Half way through the stretch he looked like he was going to fade to last. I was actually thinking he would be one of those horses that would just disappear into oblivion after the Derby, and then he powered through to win! I was impressed, but I'm not at all confident about his chances in the Bishop!
