Default Who goes off the favorite?

I have a feeling it will be Friesen Fire actually. Will be very interesting to see the Derby/Oaks payouts tomorrow.

My guess is mud or no mud IWR will still be the post time favorite.


Course I don't think before I type either...

FF is 2nd choice offshore at this second, moving from 8-1 or so 10 days ago down to 9-2.

I don't think there is any question that IWR is favored. The second choice could be a bit interesting.

Very interesting. I like Friesan Fire but wont be playing him at 5/1 or lower in a 20 horse field. I too have a feeling Friesan Fire will be strongly bet but I still think IWR will be favored at 3/1.

You remember making a bet with me along this same subject?
A good while back. You took my money.

It will still be IWR with Friesan Fire and POTN battling for 2nd choice.

Sunny posttime favorite is I Want Revenge.

Rainy posttime favorite is Friesan Fire. I saw FF win in FG slop. He was absolute machine coming down the stretch -- the longest in North America. Saturday, he will navigate second longest stretch at CD. Same result? Yes, FF is my choice.
