Final odds set for 2018 Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 1
By Jonathan Lintner
Defeated in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Bolt d'Oro's still the early 2018 Kentucky Derby favorite, at least when it comes to the individuals.
The traditional top choice in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager -- "All Others" not offered on the board -- finished 6-5 as betting closed at 6 p.m. Sunday.
When it comes to horses readying for their 3-year-old seasons, Bolt d'Oro (7-1) was the only potential Derby contender with single-digit odds. Before the Juvenile, when he ran wide and finished third, the colt opened his career 3-for-3 with a pair of Grade 1 wins on the West Coast.
Juvenile winner Good Magic (11-1) and debut Bob Baffert winner McKinzie (12-1) and were the other individual favorites in a Future Wager win pool that handled $177,103 in the win pool.
This week's pool was the first of four to be held by Churchill Downs between now and Derby 144 set for May 5, 2018.
