I don't like betting faves in 20 horse fields. I thought he'd go off at 4 or 5-1 when which is a slight underlay to me considering he breaks from the 1 hole....There are obviously times when a fave is straight up bad, I don't think he is one....MTB was an underlay last year at 50-1 by a lot. Just speaking from an odds perspective.

If the early odds are any indication than 7-1 is a very fair price on the horse. 4-1 doesn't do much for me...I will still use in all exotics....FYI I have an 80.5-1 future on Ice Box so that's covered for me anyway.

You let someone else's opinion govern what u bet? Seriously? Make a stand and stick with it-figured you would know this by now, Jerry?

At least there wasn't anyone dumb enough to say something like a 47.2 split is just as slow as a 48.4 split.
