Those odds equate to a 13% takeout. If you assume Gio Ponti goes on grass (or can't win), it's a 7% takeout.

I made an error in that post. Those Pinnacle odds were "for 1". So Zenyatta was actually 5-2, not 7-2. All the other odds would have been 1 less, if expressed the usual way. And the takeout was 23%, not 13%! I'm sorry about the error.

Here are the current Pinnacle odds, and they are expressed in the usual "to 1" manner. The 2nd number is the odds at 5Dimes.

1*Quality Road 7.5, 7.25
2*Paddy O'Prado 16, 17
3*Haynesfield 11, 11
4*First Dude 33, 30
5*Blame 5.5, 6.25
6*Fly Down 20, 17
7*Musket Man 20, 27
8*Zenyatta 1.9, 1.8
9*Pleasant Prince 50, 60
10*Etched 25, 22.5
11*Espoir City 20, 20
12*Lookin At Lucky 5, 6.25

The Pinnacle odds represent a 13.5% takeout.

Bookmaker was offering Zenyatta at 3-1 earlier in the week. They are down to 7-5 now.
