Derby Futures - Saturday Night

[Edward DeVere]

I think I would go $40 to win on Street Sense at 8-1 and $10 to win on Curlin at 4-1.

What's the point of taking whatever they close at when you can that or better on Derby Day?

[Edward DeVere]

You honestly think Street Sense will be higher than 8-1 on Derby Day, and Curlin higher than 4-1?

[Zaf]

Derby Day Predictions:

Curlin 9-5
Scat Daddy 7-2
Street Sense 9-2

Z has spoken !

[Ron]

You honestly think Street Sense will be higher than 8-1 on Derby Day, and Curlin higher than 4-1?

No but I think they will be higher on Derby Day then what they close at today.

[Perlnalysis]

There is no way in heck CURLIN is going off at 9-5 in a 20 horse field off 3 career starts.

STREET SENSE: 3-1

CURLIN: 7-2

NOBIZ: 5-1

SCAT DADDY, CQ, GREAT HUNTER, DOMINICAN, TIAGO, ANY GIVEN SATURDAY: All between 8-1 and 13-1.

[Zaf]

Yes you are right , it is quite possible there will be 20 betting interests.

Ron - Your logic escapes me. Why would anybody ever bet futures if the odds were lower than on the day of the race?

[Ron]

Why WOULD anybody ever bet futures? Curlin was 30-1 in future pool 2. That was the time to bet him, not in pool 3.
