TheGreek now has Quality Road at 10.14 to 1.

5Dimes doesn't have odds up today. Neither does wsex. Pinnacle has odds on Snooker, Chess, and the London Marathon, but not the Derby.

I'm in Las Vegas, so I included odds from the Hilton ("LVH") and the Plaza, the only 2 racebooks I stopped at today.

Today's best future odds:

I Want Revenge 4.05 TheGreek
Dunkirk 7 LVH
Quality Road 10.15 TheGreek
Friesan Fire 7 Bookmaker, LVH
Pioneer of the Nile 6 LVH
Papa Clem 25 LVH
Chocolate Candy 20.5 TheGreek
Desert Party 16.15 TheGreek
Musket Man 25.5 TheGreek
Square Eddie 40 LVH
Hold Me Back 22.5 TheGreek
General Quarters 35.5 TheGreek
Regal Ransom 35 Plaza
West Side Bernie 51 Bookmaker
Flying Private 75 Plaza
Mine That Bird 80.5 TheGreek
Atomic Rain 99 Bookmaker
Advice 60.5 TheGreek
Summer Bird 60 Plaza
Win Willy 52.5 TheGreek
Mr. Hot Stuff 40 LVH

Together these make a -10.2% line.

Pinnacle has put up a Derby future odds line. Its odds come pretty close to matching CD's 16% takeout. But with help from TheGreek and 5Dimes, the combined line has a takeout of 8.1%:

1 W.Side Bernie 52.5 Greek
2 Musket Man 28.5 Greek
3 Mr Hot Stuff 40.19 Pinnacle
4 Advice 40.5 Greek
5 Hold Me Back 28.27 Pinnacle
6 Friesan Fire 6.21 Pinnacle
7 Papa Clem 20.5 Greek
8 Mine That Bird 200 Pinnacle
9 Join in the Dance 111.86 Pinnacle
10 Regal Ransom 19.61 Pinnacle
11 Choc Candy 20.46 Pinnacle
12 Gen Quarters 28.15 Pinnacle
13 I Want Revenge 3.25 5Dimes
14 Atomic Rain 102.5 Greek
15 Dunkirk 5.45 Greek
16 POTN 6.21 Pinnacle
17 SummerBird 55 5Dimes
18 NowhereHide 200 Pinnacle
19 Desert Party 17.92 Pinnacle
20 Fly Private 100 5Dimes

fwiw, TheGreek has IWR at 3-1; Pinnacle has 2.7-1.

Pinnacle has the best odds on 11 horses, TheGreek on 6 horses, and 5Dimes on 3. Neither wsex nor Bookmaker have future odds (wsex has a lot of matchups, though). I didn't check any other books for futures.

I Want Revenge 54-1
West Side Bernie 40-1

In the Exacta Pool
I have these four horses each boxed with the field @9-2.
Chocolate Candy 29-1
Friesan Fire 8-1
I Want Revenge 10-1
West Side Bernie 43-1
That is a tough break.
