All others, Ted Noffey lead 3rd Kentucky Derby Future Wager
With the Kentucky Derby still 15 weeks away, the pari-mutuel field of all other 3-year-olds closed as the 7-2 favorite in pool 3 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager. Unbeaten Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Ted Noffey, from the barn of two-time Derby winner Todd Pletcher, was the 6-1 second choice and the shortest-priced individual interest.
Other horses who attracted mild interest from bettors included the Chad Brown-trained Remsen (G2) winner Paladin (14-1) and recent Gulfstream debut winner Chief Wallabee (17-1) trained by two-time Kentucky Derby winner Bill Mott.
