2/18-20 (CD): Kentucky Derby Future Wager (Pool 1)

After todays Risen Star some of these will really change. This kind of bet is a true gamble. Payoffs can be good. No way I would ever bet anyone under 10-1. To Honor and Serve has some appeal to me at 17-1. This may even creep up more after the Risen Star today. I usually just bet $20-25 on these type of wagers.

I was going to ask him the same question. Perhaps he's high?

I liked his race yesterday, I do question his ability to get 10 furlongs though.

I was going to play a win bet but I like the flexibility of the exacta box and wanted some action. I've never got involved in any of these future pools before so we'll see.

The horse I wanted to play was To Honor and Serve, but at 10/1, I will pass on it, if he were 20/1 I would have made him the exacta key

Uncle Mo must bring out the betters. With one hour to go. Handle is up $60K combined win and exacta over last year.

I also was interested in Santiva at odds of 40/1 or higher. His first race off the shelf yesterday he went wide on both turns and came up a little short. Seems he has every right to move up off that race. Also ran a decent race over the CD strip. I'm not saying he is the most likely winner or anything like that, but i think 40+ to 1 is pretty good value and he could very well move up.

Santiva can't win the Derby. . . Tiz Blessed and Mucho Macho Man seem like the only ones I'd throw a few $ on for fun. . . The hope would be that MMM gets purchased privately and turned over to a better trainer.

Santiva cant win the Derby, but Sway Away is the goods? Please DUDE..........
Tiz Blessed was sick and Brown has not a clue, plan or idea of what to do with him next. Article was in the Saturday Gazette.

He ran really well.

I always make some token win bets on these futures, and played some exactas for the first time.

I played:

Dialed IN in the first and second slots in exactas with Clubhouse Ride, Indian Winter, Mucho Macho Man, Uncle Mo, and the field.

Uncle Mo in exactas over Clubhouse Ride, Indian Winter, and Mucho Macho Man.

Clubhouse Ride, Indian Winter, and Mucho Macho Man to win.
