Is it me or are none of these odds tempting enough to throw some scratch-ola on?

They'll be floaters into the 70's..

Of course the horses that made the Derby were likely to be higher odds in the Futures Pool. That doesn't mean they were good bets.

I see no one. And I usually like a few. This crop is too good to take short odds on anyone right now. Maybe Uncle Sigh if he drifts up? I do think he needs a new jockey next time though.

[RockHardTen1985]

I guess Candy Boy at 50-1 is OK. I really liked his last race with that early move. I think he will dirt fine also. Plus he can't possibly be bet after a blowout 2nd.

Very few horses from pool 1 in this pool as options

[flipsal]

1to2? Rather play everyone else!

At KentuckyDerby.com they've changed the display of the exacta pool from previous years when it used to show will-pays. Now it shows the amount bet on each exacta. It would have been helpful if they'd shown the total amount in the exacta pool, which was always shown previously. You can still see how much is in the pool by copying and pasting the whole table into Excel. $47K as I write at 1:25.

Right now there is $3 bet on the Kristo/Vicar's In Trouble exacta. About 12,000 to 1 odds. Don't jump on it though. Your $2 bet would reduce the odds to about 7600-1.

What the *&%%$! Now there's no info showing for the exacta pool. Only the win pool info is showing.

There must be some problems with the exacta display? You'd think this is the first time they've ever done a future wager.

CDI at its best as usual

[Dunbar]

They must have been taking an hour-long siesta. The exacta grid is displaying again now.

I sent an email to the webmaster, and that brought up another frustration. You know those boxes they use to sidetrack robots, where they have letters and numbers that are somewhat a little hard to pick out from the background? CD introduces another level, where you have to guess whether an "o" is an "o", an "O" or a "0" (a zero). Likewise for "p" and "P" and other indistinguishable lc/uc letters. I failed on my first 2 tries, but guessed right on an "o" on the 3rd.
