After several days without a line, TheGreek has put its Derby futures back up:

1201 Lookin At Lucky +425
1202 Nobles Promise +4050
1203 Rule +2550
1204 Sidneys Candy +825
1205 Eskendereya +205
1206 Mission Impazible +3050
1207 Ice Box +3050
1208 Endorsement +2550
1209 Conveyance +3550
1210 American Lion +2050
1211 Discreetly Mine +5250
1212 Deans Kitten +5250
1213 Awesome Act +1615
1214 Dublin +2250
1215 Interactif +3550
1216 Homeboykris +6050
1217 Jackson Bend +3050
1218 Backtalk +6050
1220 Make Music for Me +6050
1225 Super Saver +2050
1226 Stately Victor +2250
1227 Paddy Oprado +4050
1228 Line of David +4050

The "takeout" in this line is about 20%, and the line doesn't even include the horses that might get in from the Derby Trial or the filly.

5Dimes doesn't have odds up yet. Too busy taking action on who will win the Nathans Hotdog eating contest, I guess:

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest - Coney Island, New York - ESPN
Joey Chestnut must compete for action
Sun 7/4 101 Nathan's winner eats over 72½ hot dogs +110
12:15PM 102 Nathan's winner eats under 72½ hot dogs -150



Bookmaker (CRIS) has Derby futures on about 100 horses, including such tempting propositions at Buddy's Saint at 11-1 and Lentenor at 60-1. For the horses that might actually run, Bookmaker's odds are uniformly worse than TheGreek's.
