For people who factor in ‘the dosage” — as any smart handicapper should — Master of Hounds at 1.07 has perhaps the best Derby “dosage” in decades — the ideal being to come as close to 1.0 as possible where most horses come in at 2.2 or thereabouts. He’s on the morning line at 15-1 but he has as great trainer and one of the hottest jockeys in the country.
Post 11 is a little bit of a jinx and if Master of Hounds gets into traffic, watch for the wiry colt Animal Kingdom to take it all at a good price.
