Here's where the offshore books now stand. Bookmaker's odds have become ridiculously low. But 5Dimes and TheGreek are offering some attractive odds:
Post, Horse, futures, Racebook, CD odds
2 Oxbow* 30 , Gr, 22
3 Revolutionary* 8 , Gr, 5
4 Golden Soul* 60 , 5D, 29
5 Normandy Invasion* 10 , 5D, 7
6 Mylute* 20 , Gr, 13
7 Giant Finish 50 , 5D, Gr, 37
8 Goldencents* 7.75 , 5D, 7
9 Overanalyze* 17 , 5D, 14
10 Palace Malice* 25 , 5D, 23
11 Lines of Battle* 32.0 , 5D, 33
12 Itsmyluckyday* 13.5 , 5D, 9
13 Falling Sky* 55 , 5D, 38
14 Verrazano* 6 , 5D, 9
15 Charming Kitten* 40 , 5D, 29
16 Orb* 5 , 5D, 7
17 Will Take Charge* 30 , 5D, 30
18 Frac Daddy* 45 , BM, 23
19 Java’s War* 22 , 5D, 24
20 Vyjack* 42 , 5D, 34
The last numbers on the right are the current live Derby odds. Interesting to me that the books seem afraid to match the odds on Orb and Verrazano, but are offering large premiums on Revolutionary and NI.
The books' odds equate to a takeout of 9%.
