Don't believe u will get 3x the price of California chrome on either hoppertunity or wicked strong. Both smell like wise guy horses and as micheal d posted esrlier they are very likely the 2nd and 3rd choices.
3-1 California chrome. 6 or 7 to 1 on the other two.
No bargains especially when u are betting them both "on the come". Neither one is close to as good as California chrome right now. Don't care what the figs say.
Doesn't mean they can't improve and CC doesn't run his best race at 1 1/4 at CD. But they are not starting as equals despite what the TG figs say.
I would need double digits on either one of them and not likely to get it
Derby very uninspiring right now IMO. Lots of the "interesting" options not available. Horses like Cairo primce, constitution and Bayern. Left with very common 2nd and 3rd choices and a very solid favorite who has to carry his race to a sometimes quirky surface.
