Early Derby odds

Surprised that Tale of Ekati is that high and Big Truck that low.....must be a lot of "playing the name" money. Eight Belles is too low for me also. The rest is pretty much how I figured.....Cool Coal Man looks like the best value from the morning line.

Eight Belles is way too low for sure.
Tale Of Ekati is about right imo. there is no way he can win.

Still going to take a small flier on Denis of Cork at 27-1.

If Tale of Ekati stays anywhere near those odds, I will put even more into my ticket on him than originally planned. I see a pace meltdown taking shape and I think he will just keep steadily advancing.

Would like to have some kinda clue as to who to maybe use with him in a smallish type exacta bet....but I'm clueless

You're live to 4 out of those 5.

Pyro is one I want to use in a box with him. Would like to find two more horses and do a $5 ex box.

Well, that's why Jones is running her today!! Figured she'd have a better shot to hit the board and beat 17 or 18 slow males in the big one than beat his other filly!! He just put his large filly in the Derby.
