![]() It will probably prove trivial if all of this deep fried speed goes (Titletown Five, Goldencents, Vyjack, Gov Charlie, Itsmyluckyday, Oxbow, etc)
If Normandy Invasion stays away and six speed horses show up off of a fading running line ... this race is a pass and I wouldn't bet 2-cents against Orb ... who won't be underlayed because of the big crowd a/effect that led to Wise Dan paying $3.20 against Lukas and some rats...when he would have paid $2.40 max almost any other day. |

![]() Obviously a lot could change between now and post time but at the moment it seems to me that backwheeling Orb in exactas and tris will probably provide the best value. There will be enough speed entered and he's a consistent enough horse that an off-the-board finish by him seems extremely unlikely. On the other hand, he'll be seriously overbet on top in the exotics and given the way the Derby was run, as DrugS pointed out, the only value in the race will be in trying to beat him.
