People on Pinni keep pounding Curlin and CQ. Curlin was +210 yesterday afernoon. Do people no realize just bet him on derby day and you will probably get 9-2 odds on him.
Keep in mind that no one is betting Curlin at +210. But someone(s) probably did make a big bet at 3-1, which then knocked the Pinnacle price down to +210. Now, as the other horses are getting some action, Curlin has risen to +250. I'll be surprised if Curlin's odds don't rise back over 3-1 at Pinnacle.

Even making a big bet on Curlin at 3-1 is hard to understand when TheGreek has been offereing +445 to +465 all along. I would have expected anyone who might make a big bet at Pinnacle would be aware of TheGreek.

As for Great Hunter at 35-1, I can imagine how annoying that must be for you!
