I still think 9/2 is a fair price for what would typically consist of half dozen or more runners on Derby day. A lot of players use it as Giacomo insurance while plunking down a matching wager on a top pick or two. This worked out well the past couple years in Pool 2 where the field paid 5/2 odds for the eventual winner.
