Mafaaz ** 60.50
Mine That Bird ** 80.50
Charitable Man ** 80.50

That's a 9% line. Dunkirk is probably too low, but the rest of the numbers look like reasonable estimates of what the odds will be. (as you say, excluding possible dramatic changes from the Lexington or because of injury dropouts.)

How the hell does QR go off longer than Dunkirk given his last two races? This insane desire to make Dunkirk more than his races show is exceeded only by the psychotic hype of POTN. What has Dunkirk actually done that doesn't deserve a line of 10-1 or better. If he was the best horse in the Florida Derby he would have accelerated right by QR at the top of the stretch but he gassed like the silver and bronze he will be at best in the derby.
