The Wynn Las Vegas released an updated Breeders' Cup future odds list last week but I . Here's a quick summary of the future odds for the Classic as compared to the last update from a month ago.

We haven't seen any major shifts in the future wagering for the Classic in the last month; Blame took a bit of a price cut following his defeat of Quality Road in the Whitney and Lookin At Lucky's Haskell win put him firmly into the Top 5 in terms of betting, but the rest of the action was fairly stable.
I wanted to see how the bookmakers in North America viewed the Classic compared to those in Europe. Below the jump you'll find a chart that compares the current Wynn odds to those from PaddyPower.com and Bet365.com.

A few thoughts on the overseas betting markets:
- As is illustrated by the chart, the overseas bookmakers view Zenyatta as the betting favorite but have Lookin At Lucky, instead of Quality Road, as the clear #2 choice. They've pegged Blame at the same odds as the Wynn but have both Quality Road and Rachel Alexandra as bigger prices on the board than here in the U.S.
- One glaring difference between Vegas and the overseas bookmakers is with Juddmonte winner Rip Van Winkle. The Wynn has pegged Rip at 30/1 while PaddyPower (12/1) and Bet365 (8/1) have him at a much lower number, suggesting that he has taken quite a bit of action in their markets.
- One other glaring difference in markets: Gio Ponti sits as the 6th choice in Vegas but isn't even a consideration on the overseas board. The overseas markets make more sense to me in this situation as it seems doubtful that Gio Ponti will even run in the Classic.
