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.

I just cant wait to get the Hammer's pick so I can toss 1 of the contenders

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.

Derby Fever will keep IWR on top regardless of the track. Very close behind will be FF.

Friesan Fire absolutely won the draw ... couldn't dream of a better of a post with all confirmed slow pokes to his inside.

He's also getting more attention than expected because of the high probability of the wet track and the fast workout.

I still don't like him - but it's become impossible to hate his chances.

I want Revenge will be the favorite. It will be interesting to watch the odds throughout the day.

Most of the online sites that offer props have it:

IWR / Dunkirk and POTN / FF

Oh yeah? How about when Hank picks him, which he will? God I hate that mush. I'm screwed.
