Let's not forget that Pletcher tried the same thing in the 2002 Florida Derby with Smooth Jazz, as a rabbit for Nokoma. He ended up setting the race up for Harlan's Holiday.

I think one is 9/5 and other is 8/5. I think they'd be lower if Theregoesjojo was not in the field, as he'll take a little bit of $ himself.

My thoughts above would mean the remaining horses in the race account for 12% of the total win pool. That might be too high, but without seeing entries, I thought it was a fair assessment.

Being that Dunkirk was favored in the future pool, at least of members of the field, he will probably be favored.

How he was favored in that pool is, however, beyond me. That'll be a good trivia question/answer to laugh about in the future.

I thought he ran really well. Shame he may not make the Derby.
