I can see why someone might toss $100 around, like 4 $25 wagers, could be the best $100 you have ever spent from a juice perspective starting from about January until the first saturday in May.

those were about the fairest future book odds i've ever seen in my life.

however, ready's echo at 75/1? that's nuts. the horse hasnt even worked out since his debut this summer.

If you like War Pass then 20-1 is a heck of a better option now than getting 8-1 in the first Derby Future Pool when he either will have only run in the 6.5 furlongs Hutcheson where he'd likely romp or won't have even raced again yet. I'd much rather take a shot at 100/1 on an impressive maiden winner here than play the Derby Future Pools at much lower odds.
