Who is the idiot who came up with these odds?

Danica at 15-1 but RHR at 40-1?

[harvick#1]

I'm liking this RHR at 40-1, that could be an big payday, even Meira is a big threat at 30-1.

but in all honesty, the Will Power at 12-1 maybe the safest bet, as the winner will most likely come from a Ganassi or Penske ride

[I am evil Homer]

Power at 12-1 looks good value, RHR maybe an each way and Sato for the random £5 punt!

Lots of people like DF have money on her....so the oddsmakers are trying to lay off the odds.

Oddsmakers put odds out based on how people are betting and how much. Lost of action on a name drives down the price. Doesn't mean all the people betting on Danica are smart, it just is that there is enough money on her that the oddsmakers want to ensure they don't have to pay too much out...
