Final odds set for 2019 Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 3
In a weekend when winners of all three Kentucky Derby 2019 preps were among the group of "All Other 3-Year-Olds" listed in Pool 3 of the Future Wager, that group of colts and geldings closed as the favorite when betting ended at 6 p.m. ET Sunday.
Tampa Bay Derby (G2) winner Tacitus, Gotham Stakes (G3) winner Haikal and Somelikeithotbrown, winner of the Jeff Ruby Steaks (G3), each stated their cases to contend in the May 4 Derby to keep "All Other 3-Year-Olds" at 9-2, near its 4-1 morning line price.
Among individuals, Game Winner (6-1), Improbable (6-1), Hidden Scroll (11-1) and War of Will (12-1) were the shortest prices on the board.
Game Winner and Improbable, unbeaten horses trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, are set to meet next weekend in Oaklawn's Rebel Stakes (G2). It will mark the 3-year-old debut for both.
Hidden Scroll was flattered by Tacitus, his Bill Mott stablemate and fellow Juddmonte Farms homebred. The two work in company, and Hidden Scroll, who was fourth in the Fountain of Youth (G2) regularly out-works the Tampa Bay Derby winner.
Mark Casse-trained War of Will is 2-for-2 in the new year with victories in the Lecomte (G3) and Risen Star (G2). He'll look to sweep Fair Grounds' series of preps in the March 23 Louisiana Derby (G2).
The fourth and final Future Wager, Pool 4, runs from April 5-7.
