Dunkirk

Dunkirk even money or less.

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.

forget about the future. i'm laughing now, i'll be laughing even more if he does not win this week. the horse has zero graded earnings and is "iffy" to even be in the gate derby day , but hes a future pool fav. who bets these things? i've tried it a couple times but i would not bet anything under 20 to 1 if i do bet. the first pool had a couple of good propects, but after that the odds are kind of ridiculous. yeah' i'll bet dunkirk at like 7 to 1, when he might not even get in rather than derby day when he'll probably be 3 to 1 or more anyway and you know hes running. i don't know maybe he'll win both and make me look stupid but i kind of doubt it. saturday will be intresting because if hes not first it probably won't matter if the future pool had him at a million to 1. lol

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

[dpkovalesky]

yeah..pletcher didn't seem too pleased with the track conditions

Look, he got beat. The track is 2001 CD Derby which is sad but thems the brakes.

My heart started to race when he made that move.

Quality Road is also very talented, but on a fair track I think he gets beat. I'm not banking on Quality Road getting that trip again in the Derby either.

I don't think he would have been beat, but I agree that it's going to take one heck of an effort for him to win the Derby considering the strongest horses this year want to be on or near the lead.

This year is very exciting!
