![]() Interesting...$439,379 is the lowest amount wagered since the inception of the Future Wager in 1999....the bet seems to have lost some of it's appeal. Maybe now they will rethink their stance and possibly add the entire field of nominations into the pool next year instead of the paltry 24 entries.

![]() Smooth Air at 159-1 was the only one I'd even look at. Probably a closing sprinter but at those odds, worth a shot. I like Giant Moon as well but 52-1 is about right given that if he gets to the gate I'd expect him to be 20-1. The pool sucks with only 23 entries (not to mention, the ones THEY select might be different from what the public actually wants... in 2004 there was an outcry after Smarty Jones was left out of Pool 2, and the "all others" went off easily favored)... I've been saying that since inception.

![]() As an aside, I'd love to know who bet Majestic Warrior down to 18-1. Do they think Mott could heal Lazarus?? I could be 20 grand richer on May 3rd.
