Word had been out about this colt. Tried to get a Derby Book price yesterday in Las Vegas via Rich Eng, and he was already bet down to 30-1 at Wynn... YESTERDAY! Before his first start.

He is the 2nd great looking Point Given colt that I've seen win at 1st asking in the past month. Pressure Point for Mike Maker being the other at CD on Nov 29th.
I was shocked at how bad Tevez the Tiger ran for E Harty. The most expensive Cuvee sold at auction in 2008.

what do you expect with E Harty, he is a players nightmare, his horses go in and out of form when they dont look like they should.

Funny. I was in Vegas from Christmas day until New Years Day. Was at Wynn on Sunday making a few future wagers, and saw him at 12-1 for the Derby!
I had never heard of him before (was out of the loop for a week or so), and couldn't believe he was only 12-1. Lowest odds of any horse on the sheet, including old fashioned, vineyard haven, etc...
Ridiculous.
