I bet offshore and the sportsbook I use is pretty good about pegging prices, as they allow the player to bet for or against a horse. For example, right now they are offer +160 on Smarty Jones (8-5) and -175 if you want to bet against him (horse must run to have action, so you don't lose on a scratch. It could give us an idea as to the odds. But anyway, here is what they are offering.
Smarty Jones 8-5
Lionheart 5-1
Rock Hard Ten 6-1
The Cliff's Edge 7.5 to 1
Imperialism 10 to 1
Eddington 12 to 1
Borrego 20 to 1
You can also get 9 to 2 on Smarty winning the triple crown.
