I propose a Sumo wrestling match between AM & Shad; winner-take-all. I took the liberty of sounding out the 1,798 Internet Bookies here and their early openers have Shad $1-84 fav with The Monk $1-90. That's a vig of 16% the lousy crooks. (UK21 & I can get a special vig of 12% but only for early birds, for those poor unfortunates not able to get sports bets on.)
Seeing as neither seem to have any recent form to go on, I enquired why Shad should be favorite.

The head bookie says they heard a rumor Monk has a sore fetlock...
