Essential Quality 10/1 Single-Entry Favorite in Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 1

LOUISVILLE, KY – Godolphin homebred Essential Quality, recent winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1), is the 10/1 single-entry favorite among 24 total entries (including the overall 6/5 favorite “All Other 3-Year-Old Colts and Geldings”) in Pool 1 of the 2021 Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW), which starts at noon Eastern on Thanksgiving (November 26) and runs through Sunday, November 29, at 6 PM Eastern.

The Brad Cox-trained Essential Quality is undefeated in 3 starts, including a maiden-breaking effort at Churchill Downs and the Breeders’ Futurity (G1) at Keeneland prior to the World Championships score that likely sealed him an Eclipse Award as Champion 2-Year-Old Male.

The co-15/1 second choices are the undefeated Nyquist Stakes winner Highly Motivated from trainer Chad Brown and recent debut maiden-breaker Life Is Good, the latest potential superstar from the 2020 Kentucky Derby (G1)-winning barn of Bob Baffert.

Pool 1 permits Win and Exacta wagers with $2 minimums.
