The current odds at TheGreek are now listed as the 3rd set below.


HORSE, Phil's Line, Old Adj Line, Current odds at TheGreek

Lookin at Lucky 7/2, 7-2, 3.65
Sidney's Candy 7/1, 6-1, 6.05
Super Saver 10/1, 16-1, 16.15
Devil May Care 11/1, 11-1*, 16.15
Awesome Act 12/1, 13-1, 10.15
Dublin 14/1, 14-1, 18.15
Ice Box 15/1, 17-1, 18.15
Endorsement 16/1, 16-1, 14.15
Noble's Promise 18/1, 25-1, 20.50
Mission Impazible 20/1, 25-1, 22.50
Line of David 22/1, 30-1, 45.50
American Lion 25/1, 16-1, 22.50
Paddy O'Prado 25/1, 25-1, 28.50
Conveyance 30/1, 25-1, 28.50
Stately Victor 30/1, 25-1, 28.50
Jackson Bend 30/1, 20-1, 18.15
Discreetly Mine 40/1, 40-1, 52.50
Backtalk 45/1, 40-1, 60.50
Dean's Kitten 50/1, 45-1, 45.50
Homeboykris 50/1, 40-1, 60.50

Those odds make a 10% takeout line. That probably won't last long. What usually happens is TheGreek lowers odds after getting some action, but they don't raise odds on other horses to compensate.

The biggest difference between these current odds and last week's odds (as well as Philski's line) is Line of David at 45.50-1.

Good stuff, Dunbar. Really surprised at Super Saver at 16-1. Don't think he'll be that high on Derby Day- especially with Borel named.

5 Dimes was late to react Sunday morning. I got some Lucky just because I knew I'd get 30% less this week.

Nice. You could probably lock in a profit on the EhorseX-type boards.

Wrong again, you idiot! (I'm trying to start a flame war with myself.)

Last night, Lookin At Lucky dropped from 3.65-1 to 3.15-1 at TheGreek. But now Lookin At Lucky is up to 3.85-1. The only other change is Conveyance has dropped from 28.5-1 to 20.5-1.

The effective takeout on TheGreek's current line is 10.5%. (But TheGreek hasn't adjusted for Endorsement being out and Make Music For Me being in.)


Pinnacle has odds up for the Oaks:

1 It's Tea Time +1200
2 Jody Slew +4000
3 Quiet Temper +1200
4 Age Of Humor +4000
5 Blind Luck +120
6 Beautician +2000
7 Crisp +1000
8 Tidal Pool +1200
9 Bella Diamante +5000
10 Champagne D'Oro +4000
11 Evening Jewel +1000
12 Ailalea +2500
13 Amen Hallelujah +800
14 Joanie's Catch +4000

Those odds equate to a 15.4% takeout.

Pinnacle will probably put up its Derby line soon after the field is set.

TheGreek now has odds up for the Oaks, including +165 for Blind Luck. For the fillies with better odds at TheGreek, I've put them in bold above. Using the best from Pinny and TheGreek, you'd have a line with 4.6% takeout.

TheGreek has its Derby odds back up, and they clearly take post position into account:

501 Lookin At Lucky +425
502 Ice Box +1415
503 Nobles Promise +1415
504 Super Saver +1415
505 Line of David +4050
506 Stately Victor +3550
507 American Lion +2550
508 Deans Kitten +6050
509 Make Music For Me +6050
510 Paddy OPrado +2550
511 Devil May Care +1415
512 Conveyance +1615
513 Jackson Bend +1615
514 Mission Impazible +1615
515 Discreetly Mine +4550
516 Awesome Act +925
517 Dublin +1615
518 Backtalk +6050
519 Homeboykris +4550
520 Sidneys Candy +785


Both LookinAtLucky and Sidney's Candy are significantly higher than before the draw.

I'm sorry, but Homeboykris is a focking joke at 45/1.

Now 5Dimes, Bookmaker, and Pinnacle have odds up, too. Here are the best available from the 4 books:

Lookin At Lucky ** 4, 5Dimes, Bookmaker
Ice Box ** 16.15, TheGreek
Nobles Promise ** 15, Bookmaker
Super Saver ** 16, Bookmaker
Line of David ** 40, Pinny (38.5)
Stately Victor ** 40, Pinny (38.5)
American Lion ** 25, 5Dimes & Pinny
Deans Kitten ** 60.5, TheGreek
MakeMusic'Me ** 60.5, TheGreek
Paddy Oprado ** 25.5, TheGreek
Devil May Care 16.15, TheGreek
Conveyance ** 16.15, TheGreek
Jackson Bend ** 20, Bookmaker
MissionImpazible ** 17, Pinny (16.15)
Discreetly Mine ** 50, Pinny (45.5)
Awesome Act ** 11, Pinny, Bookmaker
Dublin ** 17, Pinny (16.15)
Backtalk ** 60.5, TheGreek
Homeboykris ** 50, Pinny (45.5)
Sidneys Candy ** 7.35, TheGreek

For horses with best odds only at Pinnacle, the number in parenthesis is the best odds elsewhere.

Using the best odds from the 4 books, the takeout is 6.6%.
