How Low Would You Go?

The last two in this position, Chrome and Big Brown, went off at 0.85 and 0.30 respectively. I know that most of you here would pass at those odds, but what is the lowest that you would bite? (for a win bet)

It wouldn't matter if he's infinity to one. I wouldn't bet him, because he's not winning.

Your probably right but damn, every horse has his price.

I would definitely bite at 10-1.

Good luck with 1-1 too. Probably won't get that, but who knows, with Cal. Chrome fresh in everyone's mind, maybe he'll drift up.

I think AP will lose the Belmont...but I must admit that I find the 100/1 odds teasingly inviting.

I agree on the doubting he'll win the Belmont, and I don't plan on betting him, period. Who will beat him/outlast him I have yet to figure out.

So you are planning on betting against a horse without first considering who he's running against? I'd love to book your bets.

That's an interesting criticism to be coming from someone who's already indicated in this poll what odds he'd be willing to accept on American Pharoah.

Seems to be no shortage of posters in this thread who must
be bracing themselves for a huge payday a week from Saturday.

We all know that AP will be even money, or less, for the Belmont.
Odds for his rivals will, for the most part, be shouting "overlay".

At this point, AP dominates his peers.
His biggest threat is fatigue - the silent killer in the Belmont.

Big Brown had dominated his peers and Da'Tara finished his otherwise mediocre career with two lifetime wins.

Smarty Jones had dominated his peers and Birdstone had ran poorly in the Ky Derby.

Spectacular Bid dominated his peers about as thoroughly as is possible, not only before but also after the Belmont Stakes... just not in the Belmont Stakes, which was a problem for anyone who backed him heavily at 1/5. The other three times he faced Coastal in his career he beat him by a total of about 30 lengths-- and Coastal was a genuinely nice horse. Like a lot of people have said: Bid lost, thus ANY horse can lose.

Sunday Silence beat Easy Goer twice and then lost to him by a city block.

Alysheba lost to Bet Twice by two city blocks after defeating him in the Derby and Preakness.

War Emblem was way back at the 70-yard pole when Medaglia D'Oro (and Sarava) arrived at the Belmont finish line, despite having finished well ahead of MDO in the first two legs.

Things change. Things happen. Some of it predictable, some of it not so much. For starters, if some people think that stretching out by 2f-2.5f can't seriously affect the performances, I don't know how they can possibly beat the game on a day-in, day-out basis. Add in the potential for good/bad trip luck, favourable/unfavourable pace, different track, form cycles...

Won't bet him online unless I get 2-1 (which is impossible now).
But if I am on track, then I am not going to care about the odds for buying a potential piece of history at $2.
