Smarty Jones, Charismatic and War Emblem were part of the Field. Only Giacomo paid less as an individual entry in Pool 1 than on race day.
To dismiss a parimutual future pool out of hand is a mistake, IMO.

This pool is good for a 10-25$ birthday present bet.

Declan's Moon 5-1, Sir Cherokee, Galloping Grocer, Rockport Harbor, Wimbledon and St. Averil =DIDNT START
Smarty Jones 8/5 PAID 10.20
Giacomo 25/1 PAID 102.60
