Game Winner early individual Derby Future Wager favorite

Through the first day of wagering on Pool 1 of the 2019 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, the popular “All Other 3-year-olds” option opened as the odds-on 4-5 favorite over second choice Game Winner at 7-1. 

The pool, which features $2 Win and Exacta wagering, will close Sunday at 6 p.m. ET. See free past performances and a link to live odds below.

Other horses taking early action include impressive maiden special weight winner No. 3 Coliseum (10-1), Best Pal winner No. 9 Instagrand (15-1) and Street Sense Stakes winner No. 8 Improbable (21-1).

The Kentucky Derby Future Wager is offered concurrently with the Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager, which provides bettors with a unique opportunity to wager on select breeding stars and their entire crop of juveniles with the hope of winning next year’s Kentucky Derby.

“All Other Sires” finished Thursday as the 7-2 favorite over all offspring sired by Candy Ride at odds of 9-2. The pool for the Sire Future Wager will close Sunday at 6:30 p.m.

Last year, Justify was unraced at the time of the first Future Wagers and paid $4.40 to win the Derby as part of the “All Other 3-Year-olds” pari-mutuel field. However, a bet on his sire Scat Daddy returned $54.80 at odds of 26-1 in the Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager.

Dates for the remaining 2019 Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks future pools are Feb. 8-10 (Pool 2), March 8-10 (Pool 3) and April 5-7 (Pool 4). The lone Kentucky Oaks Future Wager will coincide with Pool 3 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager on March 8-10.
