Not sure how/why anyone would put a dollar on Storm the Court after actually getting to watch his 3YO debut. He was dreadful IMO.

Didn’t that race run after the Futures Pool closed?

I was interested in the "All Others" numbers. The final odds were "2-1", but that could be anything from 2.0-1 to 2.4-1. The pool numbers at 6:44pm indicated it was 2.4-1. I was disappointed to wake up and find out I'd only gotten 2.1-1.

They must have had the correct final pool amounts in hand, otherwise they wouldn't have had the right odds for the individually listed horses.

Comparing this morning's numbers to the pool amounts showing at 6:44pm, there's this interesting result: Of the last $18,981 that was bet into the win pool, $15,071 was bet on "All Others"!

Steve, those are not the closing prices showing on the kentuckyderby.com website. For example, the website shows "All Others" closed at 2-1, not 9-5. Nadal closed at 8-1, not 11-1.

THX. Jon White wrote me as well that they were off a little. Will adjust them...
