Michael,
there was a lot of "arbitrage" in the Oaks/Derby doubles.
With most of the horses, Afleet Alex was the slight favorite. However, the Sis City - Bellamy Road double was $11.00, with Afleet Alex $19.00 and Bandini $30.00.
There was 1.6 million dollars in the pool. I would post the link to the details if I could, but I am getting the info from my Youbet account.
But your math is way off on Noble Causway, Michael. $11.00 horse in the first leg and a $142 will pay is about 12 to 1 on the parlay price, not 30-1.
Noble Causeway was $48 with Sis City, which was actually made him longer, in the 15-1 range.
