Britain's bookies have started laying odds on who will replace Eckhard Pfeiffer, Compaq's CEO, who resigned yesterday. Here are the runners and riders in the 4.10 Maiden Fillies Stakes at Houston Park: 12-1 CRAIG BARRETT sired by CHIPZILLA INSIDE 25-1 BOB PALMER sired by WALK IN WARDROBE 50-1 MIKEY DELL sired by DIRECT BOX 20-1 LOU BOOTS sired by BIG BLUE 200-1 JERRY SANDERS III sired by DRESDEN THE FABULOUS 1000-1 ECKHARD THE PFEIFFER sired by OUTOFA JOB PRINCIPAL MEETING Figure of eight course, six furlongs. GOING Good to firm. Our tipster says: ECKHARD THE PFEIFFER looks the most interesting debutant, although the odds against the gelding winning this race again are very long. ®
