Which horse wins the Run for the Roses?

NOTE - these odds are fixed, so a late scratch is just a tough break
 
I always wonder (not specifically about any particular horse) how many of these "injuries" and "ailments" are actually real, especially considering the # of them we've had this year. Sometimes I think they run slow in training and they pull them out because they know they aren't going to win, but that's just me being cynical maybe.

That does happen, though I'm not sure why you'd be cynical about it.

(Keep in mind too, that Horses can't talk and if they are running particularly slow in workouts, the worry is there is a good reason that they can't ascertain, too... whether it's fatigue or something more serious. These are only 3 year olds too, most haven't raced much at all until this year)
