Speedgoat Karl’s odds at the Red Hot 50k
Kyle Skaggs is the no-brainer pick at 3-1.
Kyle should be able to run away with it on his 22 year old legs. I’ll givehim a run for it, but will have a tough time hanging unless Kyle starts wandering around the desert aimlessly. I’ll give myself a 5-1 chance if I can run a speedy race similiar to last year. Ian Torrenceand his local knowledge will keep him 7-1 odds. Duncan Callahan and Ryan Burch are sitting to make the most cash at 10-1 each.
The Women’s Race
Darcy Africa is back after last year’s stellar sub-5 hour run, but will be challenged hard this year by Anita Ortiz. I give both women 5-2 odds. Darcy has more Ultra experience, but Anita has more speed. Helen Cospolich proved she is a goat as well as she took home the $100 bucks at the Speedgoat 50k making it to the top of Snowbird first…6-1. High altitude superstar Emily Baer (sleeping at 9318′) from Silverton, CO gets a 7-1 chance, while Liz Irvine, last year’s Wasatch 100 winner is given 9-1.
Needless to say, this race is a HOT ONE! As long as the snow stays away!
