morning line odds on her ??????? anyone ? im thinking in between 8-1 and 12-1

I think Eight Belles will take alot of money as an alternative to Big Brown do to her just plain winning so many races in a row coming in. I figure she could be as high as the 4th choice, behind Big Brown, Colonel John and Pyro . Perhaps Adriano will be bet more, also

I guess I'm agreeing with your 8-1 to 12-1, afterall

Kind if a back door way to get in. Not a sporting move by the connections but what do you expect from a car salesman. She'll be 20-1 at least at post time.

I'll be shocked if she's less than 12-1.

I agree that she probably will end up fourth choice. Her figures are big (relatively), she's a filly, and she's won four in a row. If you don't think that's enough reason for the novice public to pound her, I think you're pretty mistaken. 12-1 sounds about right, but I wouldn't be shocked to see it lower.

I think she's hot, but she'll eat my dirt on Saturday.
