NoBiz, at 12-1 might not be an underlay!

Hickory, I meant Underlay. I like NoBiz, was expecting him to take money, anywhere from 5 to 8 to 1. At 12-1, I think it's worth taking a shot with this horse breaking thru today. Thorograph's stated that out of the last 200 derby horses, only 7% have run new "tops" in the derby, including the last 2 winners. So your taking a chance with any horse who will need one to win, you need at least double digit odds!

I cant believe Hard Spun is getting pounded like this although any price looks good except Storm in May at 25-1... how in God's name. I thought this would be a 80-1. If you ran this race 1000 times I dont think this horse would win. There are some others like this also.

I will throw this in although off thread cause I dont want to start a new one:

My definition of rank: Consecrate.

I had 3 non-horse players today have me wager on the derby for them, and each one took the 5 horse (I'm a wild and crazy guy).
I assume that they think the name is cute, or funny or whatever, but that can only be the reason why that horse isn't 50-1 right now.

He's a grey. That's part of it. Some folks don't care about anything but picking a grey. I had my mom pick a number at random thinking it would help her since she likes greys and she's sure to end up with one of those with a better shot...what does she do? Picks #5.
