Who thinks he isn't going to be bet very hard? This race is unbettable in my opinion. Nicanor will be bet hard and is the only horse in this field that might not be a total pig. That Colonial Turf Cup was a bunch of mediocre horses giving uninspired performances. Plus when you look at Nicanor's pace figures there is no real reason to think anyone can push him harder than he pushed himself in his last two races.

People on the other board are predicting 8-1 on him. I think the O/U on his odds is somewhere around 5/2. He can win I guess, but he's a total play against.
