It's that time again.....

Thought I'd open up the ol' Triple Crown Trail forum....I've moved a bunch of recent posts from General Racing Discussion to this forum to get things started....

As you awaken from your alcohol-induced slumber on Sunday, don't forget to give a shout-out to all your four legged thoroughbred friends whose birthday it is come New Year's Day.... :jump:

Noticing a couple of misprints in my last post, I failed to scroll
to the bottom of the page! Actually there are 250 listed and the
single favorite is
STEVIE WONDERBOY 12/1 7/1




and the field is listed FIELD (ALL OTHERS) 8/1 7/2



There are some interesting early line moves on this page too. I don't know how much value there is in looking at these odds but I do look forward to them to start off my KY Derby winners search.

The listing usually poses some interesting questions, like I've yet to hear anything about the horse below but he opened the future odds at 30-1. Anyone have any idea as to why someone would make this wager at these lower odds??

SIR PERCY 30/1 30/1

Have they posted a line for the Oaks yet?

[Murph]

It's not posted on their website yet. Ballys is the only place I've checked for future odds.
