5-1 on Big Brown seems fair but it is much safer waiting for Derby Day and if you want to bet BB, bet him them. Maybe get a point of two less, but no risk of not going into the starting gate and you get to see the post position.

i dont like this horse, dont like him for the derby at all....

but a point or two less ? even if war pass freaks in the wood, big brown is no more then 5-2 in the derby, actually even if war pass runs huge i still think big brown is 5-2 or lower i'd say somewhere in between 6-5 and 2-1 is more accurate. so if you like him , why not pound him at 5-1 ???

6/5??!?! no way.. not unless Pyro, War Pass, Denis of Cork, El Gato Malo, Colonel John and a few others fail to make the starting gate. BB will likely be the favorite, but not THAT big of a favorite.

I think it's way premature to say Big Brown is going to be the favorite. We have a number of horses who might freak in these last few preps that could easily challenge Big Brown for betting favoritism. Bettors can have exceptionally short memories.
