I'm guessing the true odds of this horse winning are somewhere close to +500. Since 1978 11 straight horses have failed to complete the triple crown. It used to be a lot more common, but today the competition is much tighter. It's rare to find a horse that can win 3 straight races in different conditions on different tracks against fresh horses.
Only one other horse in this race has ran all 3 races. I'll have another has to be a little less fresh than other horses.. so he's on a longer track up against fresh horses. I'll take -155 on the chance he has a bad trip, is flat out tired, or another horse runs the race of his life. Probably the best value bet I've seen in awhile.
