With 11 weeks left to the GI Kentucky Derby, 'All Others' maintains a firm grip on favoritism in the future pool wagering as Paladin (Gun Runner) scooped up second-choice honors at 9-1 odds at the conclusion of Pool 4 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW).
The Gun Runner colt rose to the top of the named heap after a game victory in last Saturday's GII Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds. The odds shifted on several contenders and the betting public displayed interest in a number of rising sophomores, including GIII Holy Bull Stakes victor Nearly (Not This Time), third in the wagering at 10-1, and 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Canaletto (Into Mischief), whose dazzling debut made him the 15-1 fourth choice in this round of wagers. From prior Derby preps, Sam F. Davis winner Renegade (Into Mischief) pulled 16-1 and Silent Tactic (Tacitus), winner of the GIII Southwest Stakes, enjoyed 19-1 odds.
Total handle for the Feb. 13-15 KDFW pool–the fourth of six scheduled wagering pools in advance of the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby Saturday, May 2–was $420,519 ($330,926 in the Win pool and $89,593 in Exactas). It was a 1.9% increase from last year's $412,766 ($319,881 in the Win pool and $92,885 in Exactas). Through the first four pools, a total of $1,277,506 has been bet on Derby future wagers, a 1.9% jump from last year's $1,253,931.
Other Future Wager dates are set for Mar. 13-15 (Pool 5) and Apr. 2-4 (Pool 6). Pool 5 also will include the Longines Kentucky Oaks Future Wager.
