Free PPs now available for Risen Star and Derby Future Wager
Saturday’s Risen Star (G2) at Fair Grounds is set to be the deepest field of any 2021 Kentucky Derby points race. The race will pay out 50-20-10-5 points allocated to the top four finishers, the most of any race so far.
The field is headlined by Keepmeinmind, winner of the 2020 Kentucky Jockey Club (G2) in his most recent race on Nov. 28 at Keeneland, as well as Midnight Bourbon, who won the Lecomte (G3) at Fair Grounds on Jan. 16.
Other intriguing options for the race include Springboard Mile winner Senor Buscador and Mandaloun, who finished third in the Lecomte as the favorite for trainer Brad Cox.
Local prospect Rightandjust will run for trainer Shane Wilson after winning an allowance race over a strong field that included several horses that scratched from the Lecomte.
The Prime Power rankings for the race are topped by Mandaloun, followed by Keepmeinmind and Midnight Bourbon.

The Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 3 will also be running this weekend. The pool is set to include 24 options.
As usual, the expected favorite in the pool is the all other 3-year-olds option, which oddsmaker Mike Battaglia set at 7-2.
Top individual betting choices in the pool include Greatest Honour, who twice passed his two-turn tests at Gulfstream Park, most recently coming from outside in the Holy Bull (G3) on Jan. 30. The colt was put at 15-1 on the morning line after closing at 40-1 in Pool 2.
Five of the KDFW horses are entered in the Risen Star, which includes Keepmeinmind, Mandaloun, Midnight Bourbon, Senor Buscador, plus Proxy.
