Exactly. The answers to all questions raised the past few weeks are not in absolutes. There's a higher level of uncertainties compared to practically all other races... one thing that makes the derby The Derby. The Odds settle the issue.
Of course that works against you some years... Smarty Jones had a bunch of questions going in ("hadn't beat anyone", Pa bred, possible Oak freak, reaction to the neg 3, rookie connections, etc.); he seemed a toss at 4-1 but the rest is history.
With the posts drawn and possible off-track this year, anything under 10-1 looks vulnerable and only worthy of using as savers, imo.
