I\'m not certain if this will affect the public\'s betting on AP or not. But it sure seems to me the top 8 horses all have significant support among handicappers.
The more I read and hear, I\'m more and more convinced that AP and Dortmund will be closer to 7-2 and 9-2 respectively rather than 2-1 and 3-1 (or 4-1). Upstart, Materiality, Carpe Diem, Firing Line, Frosted, Mubtaahij could all be under 20-1 if AP isn\'t 5-2 or under. I think Upstart could end up being the \"steam\" horse as they say but possibly Mubtaahij also. But I just can\'t see the foreign horse cracking the top 5 though.
International Star, likely 9th choice in my mind but who knows, will be right at or above 20-1 I think unless AP (and Dortmund?) go lower.
After that, start guessing and let\'s see the draw. Where\'s the value for your wagers? Loved SoCalMan2\'s post earlier. Excellent stuff. I\'m still outlining my opinions as mjellish suggested.
