Kentucky Derby odds: Maiden winner makes big futures splash
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
Conquest Warrior, the seven-figure baby who broke his maiden Saturday at Gulfstream Park, made the biggest leap this week into the Las Vegas futures for Kentucky Derby 2024.
Bought as a yearling for $1 million by Donald Adam’s Courtlandt Farms, the City of Light colt trained by Shug McGaughey opened at Caesars Sportsbook at 35-1, the ninth-shortest odds in the Nevada market.
Zipse: Is Conquest Warrior worthy of Derby hype?
Ridden by José Ortiz, Conquest Warrior closed from a troubled last to win by a half-length in a one-turn mile for maidens racing for $89,000. He earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 84, according to Daily Racing Form. It was the 3-year-old’s second race. His first in the Aqueduct mud last month resulted in a distant third-place finish.
Breeders’ Cup Juvenile victor Fierceness and Grade 2 winner Dornoch are still the consensus favorites in Nevada with best prices of 15-1. Dornoch is shorter-priced at Circa Sportsbook, where he is the 12-1 favorite.
Muth, who won this month’s San Vicente (G2), is the 12-1 favorite at Caesars. Because he is trained by Bob Baffert, he and his contending stablemates must be transferred to another barn by Jan. 29 or else they will be ineligible to qualify for the Derby. Baffert remains under an indefinite suspension from Churchill Downs Inc. over Medina Spirit’s disputed drug test in 2021.
The Nevada market will share the stage this week with pool 3 of the pari-mutuel Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which Churchill Downs will open nationwide from Friday at noon to Sunday at 6 p.m. EST.
Conquest Warrior was one of the five names added to the Las Vegas futures. Four were dropped. These are the 245 betting choices and their odds Monday at Caesars Sportsbook and Circa Sports, available only in Nevada.
