Algorithms top individual choice for Kentucky Derby Future Wager

The first pool of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager will open on Friday at noon EST with Holy Bull Stakes (G3) winner Algorithms as the top individual morning-line choice at 8-to-1 and the mutuel field as the overall favorite at 9-to-5.

Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia set the odds for 23 individual choices and the mutuel field on Wednesday. The first pool runs from Friday until 6 p.m. on Sunday. The Kentucky Derby Future Wager is a $2 minimum bet and features win and exacta wagering.

"The mutuel field has been a solid favorite in every opening pool of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager and, given the loss by two-year-old champion Hansen in his first start as a three-year-old, there is every reason to think the 'all others' bet will be a strong-to-heavy favorite in what appears to be a wide-open crop of Kentucky Derby candidates," said Battaglia. "The 'now' horse is Algorithms, who is unbeaten, comes from the [Todd] Pletcher barn, has a strong pedigree and easily handled the reigning two-year-old champ in the Holy Bull. The speed figures assigned to that win were impressive, so you can expect a lot of bettors to move in his direction.  But every pool has interesting Derby prospects at attractive odds, and we should remember that last year's Derby winner, Animal Kingdom, did not even appear as an individual wagering interest until Pool 3. So much can happen on the road to the Kentucky Derby."
