Pinnacle Breeders Cup Classic Odds

If you believe in Bernie, you should unload on this 2-1, becuase you won't get that on BC day if he wins the JGCC impressively

Anyone think that Sun King will be more or less than 16/1 at post time or right around there? I think that he is probably the best pure closer in the field and the pace could be pretty quick because I see Bright One running.

I would take nothing less than 20-1 on Sun King

Depends on who else is in the field and their next races as to what Berni will be also. No way I bet a 3 yo in the Classic at 2-1. JGCC or not.

Well, if you want to unload, you might as well unload on the 2.2-1 at VIPsports or its sister, BetGameday.com.

IMO, 2.2-1 is not nearly enough, though. There is probably at least a 25% chance that Bernardini doesn't even start in the BCC. And there's AT LEAST a 25% chance that he loses the JCGC, in which case his BCC odds will almost certainly be greater than 2-1. But it all together, and I'd need at least 4-1 on Bernardini now to consider making a BCC future bet on him.

Here are the futures at VIP/Sports Gameday. Many are better than Pinnacle's odds, but the only one I'm sure I like is the 50-1 on Second of June. Whoever asked for 20-1 on Sun King, it's there.

Bernadini 11 to 5
Invasor 7 to 1
Lava Man 6 to 1
Discreet Cat 20 to 1
David Junior 10 to 1
Suave 50 to 1
Brother Derek 30 to 1
Flower Alley 50 to 1
Jazil 25 to 1
Bright One 25 to 1
lawyer Ron 25 to 1
Sun King 20 to 1
Perfect Drift 50 to 1
Seek Gold 40 to 1
Giacomo 40 to 1
Stevie Wonderboy 30 to 1
Buzzards Bay 60 to 1
Premium Tap 40 to 1
Second of June 50 to 1
Cindago 40 to 1
Bob and John 30 to 1
Dylan Thomas 12 to 1
Shirroco 10 to 1
GOULDINGS GREEN 40 to 1
Wanderin Boy 25 to 1


--Dunbar

he is yet to race aginst older horses, much less defeat one , and you think two to one is a good bet??

i don't.

[Scav]

Paul, if you don't Bernie will smoke older, you need to learn how to watch a race. I have been betting for 15 years, actually watching races for 5, and watched a TON of video of older 'great' horses. Bernandini has the best stride and best action out of any of them. I hope that he sticks around for a 4 year old campaign so I can figure out a place to see him live, given his connections, I think it is extremely possible

Shoot, you can get the winner of the race for 50-1. I'll take that.
