Is there a bet in Vegas for a horse to win the Triple Crown?

I'm guessing there is, because there has always been an offshore bet on this. I'll be in Las Vegas the week before the Derby and can say for sure then.

I think 11-1 or 12-1 has been the standard online the past couple of years. A few years ago I got 30-1, which was outrageously good.

I still like it if you can find 12-1 or so. Most years the Derby winner suddenly looks like a threat to win the whole thing, and the post-Derby odds on a TC drop dramatically. Just buy back the "No". This was a lot easier, though, when Pinnacle was around with it's low vig Yes/No.

Only 10.5K bet in Future Wager Pool 3 so far today, but about $2K of it was bet on Street Sense by hapless bettors who apparently couldn't stand to wait to see how he races on Saturday. He's the 4-1 fav right now. Also, Birdbirdistheword has been "scratched".

Thanks for the info. It should be much higher than that!
