What are fair odds on Aikenite winning either the Breeders' Cup Sprint or the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile?
If you said anything less than 11-to-1 then you have to think Cot Campbell got great value from Lucky's Race and Sports Book, which offered the Dogwood President 10-to-1 on ANY of his stable's horses winning a race a this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships November 4-5 at Churchill Downs.
Campbell accepted those odds to the tune of $5,000.

Having a stable star such as Aikenite, who already has a graded stakes win at the track at the "tweener" distance of seven furlongs, surely gave Campbell some confidence going into the bet. Reloading with a roster of 14 two-year-olds does not hurt either, especially considering there are four races for two-year-olds during North America's richest racing event.
Overall, Dogwood lists 40 horses currently in training.
You could give Cot Campbell 100-1 on every one of his horses to win a significant stakes race, and he would die a broke man.
