Of more interest to me is the Kentucky Derby Future Wager. Pool 1 will be open for betting Feb 8-11.

The Future Wager is a parimutual pool with 23 individual horses plus a Field" entry ("All other 3-yr-olds"). The takeout is the same as Churchill Downs's 16%, so finding a good bet is not impossible.

Like most futures, if your horse doesn't start, you lose.
