post Blue Grass & Ark Derby future prices
I was curious how the books would evaluate the weekend races. Here are the current future prices at TheGreek:
1951 Big Brown +305
1952 Pyro +825
1953 Colonel John +605
1954 Tale of Ekati +2050
1955 Gayego +1815
1956 Monba +1815
1957 War Pass +1815
1958 Z Humor +3050
1959 Court Vision +2550
1960 Z Fortune +2050
1961 Adriano +3550
1962 Smooth Air +3550
1963 Salute the Sarge +5250
1964 Cool Coal Man +4050
1965 Cowboy Cal +4050
1966 Visionaire +3050
1967 Big Truck +4050
1968 Bob Black Jack +2550
1969 Denis of Cork +4550
1970 El Gato Malo +5250
1972 Hey Byrn +2550
"+2550" means 25.50 to 1.
TheGreek isn't overly impressed with either of the weekend winners, offering about 18-1 on each. And Cowboy Cal is dismissed at 40-1.
Pyro has slipped from 4-1 to more than 8-1. Odds on Big Brown have dropped from 4.65-1 to a shade over 3-1.
