My book is offering -115 for the field against American Pharoah. I did not watch the Derby and haven't looked at the sheets yet.
AP is getting -115 to win.
What do we think?

Is it just me or has the coverage, hype, for the triple crown been less than norma? For some reason, this season just seems off.
American Pharoah wins the triple crown.
No cool story lines this year I guess. Really not since Mine that Bird and Rachel Alexandra ran, one being a long shot and the other a filly which women latched on too.
Jockey on Divining Rod was blocking like it was NASCAR against any late contenders making a charge.
When I watched the replay of the Preakness they showed, the only time AP had his head down going hard was out of the gate when Mr. Z was running with him for a second, as soon as Mr. Z gave up up he galloped out. He was just breezing it out on the homestretch.Considering several from the Derby sat out the Preakness, they will have some fresh legs for that mile and a half.
Still think if Frosted had a chance if there another 1/4 mile in the Derby. He came up strong for being stuck way back in the pack.
How lucky for Espinoza to have back to back rides able to win the Triple Crown.
I'm no expert on bloodlines and which matter the most, in most cases with horses, but his grand sire Empire Maker won the Belmont.He doesn't have the breeding to go the distance of the Belmont. But I'm not sure that matters anymore, he appears to be the real deal vs. This group of horses.
6 in the last 15...13 since it last happened. This will be Espinoza's 3rd try and Baffert's 4th.I hope the TC happens but I've seen a horse get to third and final race only to lose so many times it seems. How many horses have got our hopes up the last fifteen years?
