if you look at his pps its not the usual rush though. his races were well spaced, but he never should have run at churchill.

his dam was pure sprinter and she has thrown nothing but sprinters.

Stay Put is a horse that could offer some value.

Should turn up in the Risen Star next weekend, and I assume will be totally ignored in the future wager pool. If he's 75-1 or more, you could do worse.

Without a horse that has even shown a glimmer of greatness yet, I imagine the field will be pounded this weekend.

Didn't he have some surgery after the Churchhill race to fix a breathing problem? He is a big horse and has been training pretty good. He may be just a sprinter but I am curious to see how he comes back on Monday especially if he has some of his Daddy's will in him.

Betting has begun. Live odds are at:

http://www.kentuckyderby.com/future-wager/odds

They are showing the same "Pool Total" for the win odds and the exacta odds. Pretty lame.

They corrected it, sort of. They are now showing separate pool totals, but some of the exacta payoffs are way bigger than the amount in the exacta pool. (As I write, there is $6600 in the exacta pool; the biggest payoffs are $11,300.) The payoffs must be based on a $2 bet but it's possible to bet $1?

It probably has to do with currency conversion when they take bets in Canada and maybe elsewhere.

The 62 cents probably comes from some angle that DrugS is working at the expense of his local racino.

If his odds stay above 25-1 tomorrow, I'll probably take some, too.
