(5) I'm not on the bandwagon of either of them so all prices in that range seem irrational
I'm not a big fan of I Want Revenge, and I agree with points 2 and 3 above. However, the general perception at this time is that IWR's a top 5 Derby contender, while Win Willy (who was 56-1 in his last start) is a marginal contender, at best.
