[Michael D.]

that 2-1 or lower on Casino Drive ... I\'m off that price.

if BB had struggled today, maybe. after that workout - no way.

maybe 2/5 and 9/2? and long odds on the other three or so runners?

Yes Michael, you are way off that price now!

You won\'t get 2-5.  1-5 at BEST.

Casino Drive at 9-2 is about right.  Denis of Cork 15-1, maybe TOE and a few others in the 30-1 and higher range.

We might even see 1-9.  I was about the most gung ho on this board to bet against Big Brown both here and in the Belmont, but my appetitive for sending more money through the windows against this horse is waning.  I might just watch.  I am stubborn but even being stubborn has its limits.  What did he run hard for about 1/8 of a mile today?  

Perhaps JB will be more stubborn than I am and continue to bet hard against this guy.  

Tough card at Pimlico.  7 of the first 9 races were chalk.  I will be curious to see the analysis, as it struck me as a tough Thorograph day.  Roshani looked good on TG, but was 6-5.  The Distaff was very hittable on TG, but the prices were nowhere near what I expected the night before when I handicapped.  6-1 ML over 15-1 ML, paid $60.  Real hard to use Ichabad Crane in the Preakness (I know you did Michael, but geez he was about 4th choice and was the slowest horse in the race)

Any of our \"figure experts\" have a guess at what Big Brown ran?  He got a 1w/3w trip, it looks like.
