I've never placed a Kentucky Derby future wager before (or any future wagers, for that matter), but I'm throwing in a few this year. Just in case I'm down and out, drunk on the side of the road or in some alley come that first saturday in May, I'll still be able to stagger into a bar and watch the race with great delight.

I liked what Joyful Vicotry did yesterday at Oaklawn. I put a few bucks on her today.

I guess we are to assume that the big bet made on Runflatout was cancelled?

I don't think you can cancel wagers made into the KY Derby future pools, matter fact, I tried earlier today after I screwed up one of mine and on Twin Spires, you couldn't cancel.

You can't cancel through the tote either to the best of my knowledge.
One of the tellers accidently bet $100 on Blue Burner one year .... I offered him $7 for the ticket the next day - and he got pissed. |

The fact that no refunds are given if/when a horse is taken off the trail DURING one of the pools is ridiculous. If the bettors got fixed odds at the time of the bet that would be one thing. But we don't.
As for canceling, I can see why that is not allowed. |

From the DRF article:
"The lowest $2 exacta will-pay in Pool 2 is $35.20 for the combination of the field over Uncle Mo (24-23)." That $35.20 payoff is for Uncle Mo over The Field (23-24), not vice versa. The DRF made the same reversal mistake reporting on Pool 1 exactas. --Dunbar
