![]() Here are the best current futures prices available, looking at just 5Dimes ("5D") and Bookmaker ("BM"):
2 Oxbow* 40 , 5D 3 Revolutionary* 8.5 , 5D 4 Golden Soul* 75 , BM 5 Normandy Invasion* 10 , 5D,BM 6 Mylute* 33 , 5D 7 Giant Finish 52 , 5D 8 Goldencents* 7 , BM 9 Overanalyze* 13.5 , 5D 10 Palace Malice* 28 , 5D 11 Lines of Battle* 25.0 , BM 12 Itsmyluckyday* 14 , 5D,BM 13 Falling Sky* 55 , 5D 14 Verrazano* 5 , BM 15 Charming Kitten* 42 , BM 16 Orb* 4.75 , 5D 17 Will Take Charge* 22 , 5D 18 Frac Daddy* 50 , 5D 19 Java’s War* 20 , 5D 20 Vyjack* 21 , 5D At 5Dimes, if your horse doesn't start, the bet is canceled. But both Orb and Verrazano must start for the bet to count. At Bookmaker, if your horse doesn't start, tough luck--the bet is a loss. These odds work out to a track take of 13%. When TheGreek posts odds, probably later today, it will probably offer better odds on at least a few of the horses. 5Dimes also has odds for finishing in the top 3 and a few other props. Neither book has head-to-heads. 5Dimes also has Oaks futures. Here are some: Dreaming of Julia is 9-5. Midnight Lucky is 4.6-1 Unlimited Budget is 5.25-1 --Dunbar
