If they move any of the Triple Crown races to EVD the bird will be tough.

Holy crap! Cowtown Cat is 16th! I have been telling you guys. I don't who will win, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that Cowtown Cat will finish anything other than EXACTLY 16th in the Derby.

LOL, I didnt think about that. Good point! I can already see the headline now: "McPeek gives 'em the Bird"

Just curious, but what is your obsession with Cowtown Cat and finishing 16th? LOL

With TheGreek finally putting up some futures, I thought it would be worth seeing what's out there for the horses on the Dispatch poll.

Best future odds for Dispatch poll horses:

1 Street Sense 8.5-1 Greek
2 Circular Quay 14-1 Greek
3 Any Given Saturday 12-1 Greek
4 Great Hunter 14-1 Greek
5 (Ravel)
6 Scat Daddy 22-1 Greek
7 Nobiz Like Shobiz 14-1 Greek
8 Notional 25-1 Greek
9 Stormello 30-1 CRIS
10 Curlin 20-1 CRIS, Greek, Bodog
11 Adore The Gold 40-1 Greek
12 Ketchikan 40-1 Greek
13 Hard Spun 25-1 Greek
14 Cobalt Blue 28-1 Bodog
15 Chelokee 75-1 CRIS
16 Cowtown Cat 50-1 Greek, Bodog
17 Sam P. 80-1 Greek
18 Liquidity 33-1 CRIS
19 Zanjero 60-1 Greek
20 Summer Doldrums 40-1 Greek, World

"Greek" is thegreek.com. "CRIS" is now bookmaker.com. "World" is World Sports Exchange. "Bodog" is, er, Bodog.

These odds were there a few hours ago. There may be better available at non-A-rated books.

There is also this interesting prop at TheGreek:
Which trainer will win the Kentucky Derby
2101 Todd Pletcher +285
2102 Doug Oneill +485
2103 Any Other -325

(+285 means you get 2.85 to 1)
