The clearest proof of dumb money comes in each Kentucky Derby Future Pool. There are always a few horses that are going to run before the pool closes. And there is always some money bet on those horses BEFORE they run their races.
Watch next week when NoBiz, AGS, et al, will draw plenty of money before the Wood is even run. These same bettors could wait to bet until Sunday, and they'd have a ton more info on their horses, but nooooooo.

EDIT: I had the wrong week, and therefore the wrong horses, in what I wrote above. It'll be the Ark Derby and the Blue Grass that are run during Future Pool 3, not the Wood. The horses that some clueless people will be betting on a few hours too early are Street Sense, Curlin, Hard Spun, Great Hunter, and more.
