Since his Juvenile victory, Essential Quality has dropped to 10-1, with the Derby six months away. Jackie's Warrior remains the second choice after his fourth-place finish, but his odds have drifted to 40-1 as distance concerns begin to creep in.
Chad Brown's Highly Motivated was among the biggest movers of the week. He captured the Nyquist Stakes on the Breeders' Cup undercard in impressive fashion and now has won two races in a row. His odds dropped to 45-1 from 125-1.
Doug O'Neill's Hot Rod Charlie almost pulled off a massive upset while running second in the Juvenile at 94-1. His Derby odds have dropped to 50-1 from 140-1 since that effort.
Essential Quality is the deserving leader in the clubhouse, but with only 12 horses listed under 100-1, this might be the time to take a swing with a lightly raced long shot that has upside.
