Title: The stupidity of the ML odds before post position draw
Post by: toppled on May 02, 2007, 04:57:35 PM
Battaglia made the odds before they drew for the post positions.  While they don\'t mean a lot to me, I\'d think with all the publicity that the Kentucky Derby gets, he\'d at least factor everything in before releasing them.  After the post position draw, it would seem more appropriate that street Sense would be the betting favorite, not Curlin.  Also, a horse like Great Hunter should end up greater than 15-1 because he\'s in post 20.

Agreed. I was very surprised to hear odds and order of draw before 5 PM.
