Strong rumor that she's entered in the 6f G3 Cicada this weekend @ AQU.... My guess is the 7f G2 Comely afterward and never even a remote thought entertained with regard to this race. Could be wrong, but it sure seems doubtful given her success short and her ped - a G1 1 1/8th would be insane for her EDIT- NOT going in the Cicada - Last edited by Rudeboyelvis : 03-11-2009 at 02:59 PM.

Quality Road has drifted up to 17-1 early and without a race this weekend, he may get lost in the shuffle.

The panel who determines the individual betting interests has been terrible this year. In Pool 1 they had a bunch of big fig sprinters. Here they include sprinter Big Drama who hasn't run and missed at least a month of training in Feb and March. On the filly side they include a filly whose trainer says she's not pointing to the Oaks in Dream Empress. McPeek said in January that the was pointing to the Oaks at Epsom and that she's not a dirt horse. These guys work for the Form, but do they read the Form?

For comparison, here are current odds at TheGreek.com. (These are not parimutual--ie, your odds don't change after you bet.)
They'll take these odds down before the races tomorrow. I doubt they'll put them up again on Sunday. For these odds, I calculated that the takeout is just 9.7%. "+4550" means 45.5 to 1 2201 Bears Rocket +4550 2202 Beethoven +3550 2203 Big Drama scratch 2204 Chocolate Candy +4050 2205 Desert Party +1415 2206 Dunkirk +1300 2207 Flying Pegasus +3550 2208 Friesan Fire +1815 2209 General Quarters +3050 2210 Giant Oak +2550 2211 Hello Broadway +2550 2212 I Want Revenge +1200 2213 Imperial Council +2550 2214 Old Fashioned +845 2215 Papa Clem +4050 2216 Patena +2550 2217 Pioneer of the Nile +1325 2218 Quality Road +1815 2219 Silver City +6050 2220 Take the Points +6050 2221 The Pamplemousse +2050 2222 Theregoesjojo +3050 2223 West Side Bernie +4050 2224 Any Other Horse +485 --Dunbar

Big Drama was the 2nd highest price at 48/1 ... yeah maybe he shouldn't have been back again on account of no subsequent race. The panel should have one job and one job alone ... and that's to determine who the 23 horses likely to take the most money are - and place them as the 23 entries in the bet. It's as simple as that. There job isn't to determine who is a sprinter and who is a router. Afleet Alex lost the first several route races of his career - and looked like a sprinter going into the Ark Derby - it didn't stop him from winning the Belmont with ease.
