Bettors Unimpressed, ‘All Others’ Heavy Favorite in Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 1

LOUISVILLE, KY – With the Kentucky Derby still 22 weeks away, the pari-mutuel field of “All Other 3-Year-Old Colts and Geldings” closed as the even-money favorite in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW).

Tiz the Law, who finished an adventurous third in Saturday’s $300,000 Kentucky Jockey Club (G2) at Churchill Downs, edged Dennis’ Moment (12-1), the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) favorite who finished sixth after going to his knees at the start; impressive Breeders’ Futurity (G1) winner Maxfield (13-1); and unbeaten Nashua Stakes (G3) winner Independence Hall (13-1) for individual favoritism honors.

Total handle for the Nov. 28-Dec. 1 KDFW pool was a record $350,312 ($284,317 in the Win pool and $65,995 in Exactas), which was a lofty 35.6% increase from last year’s $258,389 ($186,470 in the Win pool and $71,919 in Exactas).

Inaugurated in 1999, the Kentucky Derby Future Wager has been offered for a 22nd consecutive year, but this marks only the seventh time that Churchill Downs has hosted a KDFW pool on closing weekend of its Fall Meet. The old record for Pool 1 wagering during the Fall Meet was $273,174 in 2014.

This year’s early Derby betting menu also included the Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager, which, for the fifth consecutive year, provided 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. See the results here.

Total betting on the Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager was $47,082 ($32,121 in the Win pool and $14,961 in the Exactas), which was up 43.0% from last year’s $32,924 ($21,065 in the Win pool and $11,859 in the Exactas). The KDFW and Sire Future Wager combined to handle $397,394, which was a 36.4% jump compared to $291,313 in 2018.

Dates for the remaining 2020 Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks future pools are Feb. 7-9 (Pool 2), March 6-8 (Pool 3) and April 3-5 (Pool 4). The lone Kentucky Oaks Future Wager will coincide with the Derby’s Pool 3 on March 6-8.
