In times of economic uncertainty people look for stability and "sure things". Curlin has looked magnificent and hasn't done a thing wrong. Therefore I would expect him to be over bet and an underlay. Remember on BC day(s?) we have people who only know Curlin, Big Brown and Eight Bells- the horses that show up in the mainstream media. They usually tend to bet with favorites or conversely for long shots hoping for a price; leaving the legitimate overlays available. I don’t really think CD will go off above 10 or 12 to 1. I was just surprised at how quickly Steve Byk dismissed CD with his breeding and potential.
