I'm just rolling dice assuming California Chrome will win. Bad bet, but research I did would just be as worthless and if I got lucky, it would cause me to become addicted.

Edit 5 hours later: The extreme irrationality and negative expectation of Cc has sunk in so might think twice. We'll see. Still thinking 3XX or 3XXX but because I can't ever see the difference of horses any more than red and black.

If forced to take a flyer, I would bey Bayern to win. Ran a mile in 1:35 at Santa Anita. You can bet the crew will harrow the track to make it super fast. Only way anybody figures to beat CC tomorrow, is if a horse gets loose on the front end, and track bias carries him to the wire.
Notice I said if forced to. Don't see any real value in the race.

if you're betting with the track or any simulcast facility, odds are parimutual and won't be finalized till the race is over. You can generally estimate exotics odds based on the handicapper's morning line, but you won't be able to see the final payouts until the race ends.

Are they just based on single track bets or all of them together?

after my final analysis i will use only 3 and 8 in the top two and will key with 7 and 10 in the bottom.....important to use both 3 and 8 first and second and reverse them as i think that social inclusion could go wire to wire and CC would be second.

What a hodge-podge of three year olds. Has to be the weakest field in memory.

Chrome's gate issues haven't just gone away. He misses break and runs off board.

I don't agree trip wise. He sat beautifully but I think Espinoza moved sooner than what he would have liked imo. Still, a great win.

He will surely be hot favorite for Belmont and who would begrudge him a win there right?

I will try and beat him there but not because I don't believe in the fairy tale just because I don't think he will be value and there are a many great different things against his bid there.

There will be huge opportunities but I will be ecstatic if he wins!

$6.1 mil for 51%, yeah right :)

I wonder if anybody is going to buy hordes of $2 tickets on CC to win just to sell as souvenirs in case he does win. That will certainly drive up the prices on the rest of the field.

Personally, I didn't see anything in his Preakness run that makes me wants to change my thought after his Derby run - I don't think he has the mile and a half in him he needs to beat the distance specialists.

(And NBC's announcer just said that the DAP colors will be on the Pimlico weathervane "for the next year"; I for one would like to see a guarantee that Pimlico is still going to be there next May.)

Tri:3-10-7,2. Ex:3-10,2

I bet $75 WP on CC. $20 Ex 3-10. $2 Ex 3-2,7,10. $5 Tri 3-10-2. $1 Tri 3-10-2,7,8. $1 Tri 3-10,2-2,7,8,10. I got a few bucks on CC to place. Total bet $220. Total return $566.85. Great profit and VALUE in 2 minutes. If 2 got the show finish, I would have made an extra $2-300 on the tri. Now waiting for the Belmont.
8 horse was good but not Derby type. Maiden winner moving up against Gr 1 winner was just way, way over his head. If not for 8 horse, CC would be 1-5.

Espinoza had to move early as not to give his position away to the 8 that moved early. Never give position away that late in race. Jock gave Chrome a perfect ride.

6.1 million for 51% was very fair offer. I'm not going to waste energy trying to explain why......it doesn't matter.

I hit the $2 Tri on a $24 bet for $76.

Was down overall because I missed 3rd leg of pick-4.

I don't see CC winning the Belmont. Actually I could see him off the board. Hope I'm wrong.

(I have a $2 derby win bet and Preakness. I'll get Belmont in 3 weeks)

If CC wins the Belmont and thusly, the Triple Crown, is he retired or does he race in the Breeder's Cup classic?

I, for one, do not see him getting the distance in the Belmont.

Chrome's value really didn't change after the Preakness win. His value would not significantly change if he were to win the Belmont. He has proven that he is a fast horse and the best of the three year old crop thus far. He could go on and win several more million racing but when he steps up into open company it's a different ball game. Beating older horses is no easy feat.

Chrome's pedigree could easily have him running in the worst races in the country instead of the best. His value at this point is pinned to his pedigree which is modest at best. Few three year old classic winners have gone on to be great producers. Breeders will give him a try but not to their best mares. Top breeders will breed to horses like Will Take Charge.....a top class horse with classic pedigree who was still maturing as he went through the triple crown series. Will Take Charge's value is probably doubled that of Chrome's.

I'dI love to see Chrome win the Belmont. The owners are lucky buffoons. They are the Inspector Clouseau's of horse racing.

It'll be interesting to see how this issue with the nasal strip works out and if CC runs in the Belmont. I can't imagine having a good horse with a real chance to win the Triple Crown and not running him.

I think he has a decent shot at winning the Belmont based on his performances over the last 5 races. The question, of course, is whether he can really handle the distance.

The nasal strip thing is simply a game of chicken.

Having CC run the Belmont is too valuable for NYRA to let him sit out over a minor issue.

Running for the Triple Crown is too valuable for CC's owners to let him sit out over a minor issue.

This will not be an issue for CC to run in the Belmont. Right now they're just "negotiating in public" over this silly issue.

General A rod was sold before the derby. His jockey rode the 2nd place longshot in Belmont 2011.

More details later. I rarely tout but General a Rod should be an overlay in the Belmont.
