Preakness future wager

[moses]

Who puts money into these pools?

Nysos very well may win the Preakness. He may even go off below 5/2 that day. But assuming the Derby winner is running back in the Preakness, I’d guess that Nysos will likely be around 5/2 on Preakness day, assuming he even runs in the race. The Derby winner will have plenty of money on him. Why put money on Nysos in February/March at those odds?

Unless anyone thinks he’ll be under 2/1? I just don’t see that if the Derby winner runs in the race.
