Pyro would have to be the most likely closer, wouldn't he?

Giacomo type of year.
We have got to have a full year in the gate.
Every horse with the ability to rate
will think they have a shot with a good trip.

Looks very chaotic right now.

You guys do realize that the racing gods may want a laugh, and out of this year is going to come a Triple Crown winner (who will start out by winning the Derby in 2:05)

I don't think Big Brown is a "need the lead" horse. I doubt he will be sent into a pace battle. He can sit, gallop, and pounce. Plus, he is simply faster than the others.

That being said, I cant take 3:1 in a 20 horse field, so back to the drawing board on how to construct a wager.

I agree, but post position draw and field make-up could determine where this horse is placed during the race. If he draws inside, there may be no choice but to try to make the lead. Obviously, it's hard to say this early.
