In times of economic uncertainty people look for stability and "sure things". Curlin has looked magnificent and hasn't done a thing wrong. Therefore I would expect him to be over bet and an underlay. Remember on BC day(s?) we have people who only know Curlin, Big Brown and Eight Bells- the horses that show up in the mainstream media. They usually tend to bet with favorites or conversely for long shots hoping for a price; leaving the legitimate overlays available. I don’t really think CD will go off above 10 or 12 to 1. I was just surprised at how quickly Steve Byk dismissed CD with his breeding and potential.

Everyday at racetracks across the world there is economic uncertainty and people looking for "sure things" regardless of the world-wide economic situation

Do you stop and chat with crazy people on the street as well?

If so, it's a good thing you're not a regular on the NYC subways.
