Some notables. Please post some others, people:
Classic:
Zenyatta: 2-1. Seems right, given that she'll be at least a couple of ticks below that if she enters.
QR: 6-1 (!). Tells me they believe there's a real chance he won't make the race. Either that, or they're begging you to bet him. The way he gets bet, he simply can't be fourth choice if he goes into the gate.
LaL and Blame: 9/2. Right where I think they'll be at post time.
Haynesworth: 12-1. Nice price if you believe.
Morning Line: 22-1. Really?
Rail Trip: 25-1. Would have been less than half this before the JCGC.
*********
Dirt Mile:
Crown of Thorns: 6-1. So much for getting a price on him.
Twirling Candy: 20-1. Very nice price if he's going here.
Dakota Phone: 20-1. Would want more.
Sangaree: 45-1. Absolutely worth a shot at this number with right field composition.
***************
Mile:
Goldikova: 8/5. Won't get this price.
Gio Ponti: 5/1. Hope he stays clear of this. Don't want to spread in this race.
Sidney's Candy: 6/1. Not surprised at short price.
Twirling Candy: 10/1. Crazy low odds. Give him no shot in here.
Proviso: 12/1: Big price on a sharp mare.
Court Vision: 14/1.
General Quarters: 16/1: Is he going?
Liberian Freighter: 20/1. Uh, no thanks.
The Usual Q.T.: 22/1. Don't think he can handle these, but I'll bet he finishes ahead of Liberian Freighter.
Mr. Gruff: 45/1. Better suited to sprint, but very talented.
Cherokee Artist: 60-1. Worth a flyer at anything near this price on raceday.
