Future Wagers

KY Derby future wagers are open this weekend, so I promptly plopped down on Aikenite at 99-1. Of course that may change as this weekend’s races unfold, but at 50-1 or better I’ll stay on him. After the Saturday and Sunday prep races, I’ll revisit the pool and maybe get action on a couple other runners – I’ll be watching Pounced, but right now he is lumped with the ‘Other Contenders’ at approximately 3-1, so no value there. Here are the preview lines: KY Derby Futures.
