Thursday Night - Derby Future Wager

All is relatively quiet in the racing world. But since the final Kentucky Derby Future Wager is open, let's take a quick look at that.

The wager is open until Sunday night and you can be sure the odds will swing after Saturday's big races.

As of Thursday night, Quality Road is the 5-1 favorite. He's been running great but stay away if the odds remain close to that. You might be able to do better on Derby Day.

The horses to watch closely in the future wager are Pioneerof the Nile (currently 22-1), Imperial Council (
currently 19-1) and I Want Revenge (currently 11-1).

A few horses that I would stay away from are the Dubai based colts (Regal Ransom and Desert Party) as well as Mafaaz, the British horse who run in the Toyota Blue Grass next week. Foreign horses notoriously have not run well in the Kentucky Derby so betting the horse now isn't worth the risk.

Good night and "May the horse be with you."
