The Biggest Changes

You will notice that Sierra Leone inched a half a point closer to favorite status (+325 to +275).

Catching Freedom's odds were slashed a whole point from +900 to +800.

Japanese horse TO Freedom moved from +3500 to +4000, making him an even bigger long shot.

Track Phantom moved from 27-1 to 33-1 odds.

Endlessly has gone from 26-1 to 32-1 odds.

Favorite Fierceness really hasn't seen much of a move but he is now even more tied up as the co-favorite with Sierra Leone.

It is Society Man perhaps who has seen the biggest leap in terms of odds shortening, down from 40-1 to 26-1.

Society Man has certainly shown great improvement over his last three races, boosting from a 73 Speed Score in February to a 95 as recently as April 6. He hasn't beaten a horse taking part in this year's Kentucky Derby however.

One of the bigger developments Saturday morning involves the weather forecast as there appeared to no longer be the likelihood of showers any time during the day.
