LEXINGTON, KY – The morning-line leaders Tiz the Law and Gamine ended the weekend still in front in the respective Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW) Pool 6 and Kentucky Oaks Future Wager (KOFW) Pool 2.
Tiz the Law finished as the 5/2 favorite, albeit by a wider margin than when he opened. Honor A. P. opened at 5/1 but closed at 6/1, tied with Uncle Chuck for runner-up favoritism. Uncle Chuck took the most steam in Pool 6, with his odds shrinking a good amount from his 10/1 morning line.
Art Collector opened at 9/2, but bettors seemed relatively unimpressed with his recent Blue Grass Stakes (G2) and let him slip to 8/1, fourth-best. Authentic‘s Haskell Stakes (G1) victory this past Saturday only bumped him slightly, from 10/1 opening to 9/1 closing odds.

Matching her male counterpart, Gamine also led from start to finish in KOFW Pool 2. The Acorn Stakes (G1) champion opened at 9/5 and closed at 2/1. She remained well-clear of second favorite Swiss Skydiver, who opened at 3/1 but slipped to 9/2. They were the only two fillies to close at single-digit odds.
Paris Lights was among the biggest movers, thanks to her hard-fought victory in Saturday’s CCA Oaks (G1). After opening at 50/1, the Bill Mott-trained filly skyrocketed to close at 14/1, good for fourth-highest. Speech, winner of the Ashland Stakes (G1) two weekends ago, finished third at 10/1 after opening at 8/1.
