Probable Arl Million Odds Based on DRF Poll

[Rupert Pupkin]

They often times have polls at drf.com asking people who they think will win a race. These poll results are usually pretty good indicators of what the closing odds will be. It's a good indicator because the participants in the poll are from all over the country so it's probably a pretty fair sample of the people who will be betting the race. Anyway, here is what the poll is showing the odds will be:

Major Ryhthm 80-1
The Tin Man 9-2
Ace 6-1
Touch of Land 40-1
Soldier Hollow 16-1
Phoenix Reach 16-1
Cosmonaut 25-1
Better Talk Now 6-1
Go Deputy 40-1
Cacique 3-1
English Channel 5-2

It's probably not as good an indicator as it usually might be because the actual bettors will give more credit to the Europeans. If Touch of Land goes at 40-1, I'll be all over him.

Yes, there could be some big European money that comes into the pool. Most of the people in the poll are probably not familiar with the European horses.
