Kentucky Derby Future Pool 1 Final Odds

The first pool of this year's Kentucky Derby Future Wager generated a record handle of $510,815. That's almost half the handle generated last year for all three pools of the bet offered by Churchill Downs.

Wagering was offered from Feb. 15 through 4:30 p.m. (EST) Feb. 18. As expected, the "favorite" is the field of "all other 3-year-olds" at 3-1. Point Given is the second choice at 7-1, followed by AP Valentine (9-1), and Dollar Bill and Millennium Wind, who are both 14-1.

Churchill offers 23 separate betting interests, and a 24th that includes all other 3-year-olds being pointed to the May 5 Kentucky Derby (gr. I). The second pool will be open March 8-11, and the third April 5-8.

The Future Wager was offered for the first time in 1999, when total handle for three pools was $676,233. Last year, total handle was $1,158,919.
