With $1 million in the win pool, Maximum Security is still a narrow favorite over Improbable and Tacitus. From the Oaks/Derby will-pays and the current exacta will pays, with $720K in the exacta pool, it looks like Improbable will emerge as the Derby favorite, followed by Tacitus and Maximum Security. If so, then the ML favorite, Game Winner, would actually be 4th in the betting.
