Weekend Winners Club

.
November 22, 2018. It’s never too early to start betting the 2019 Kentucky Derby, as evidenced by Derby 19 Futures Pool 1 opening on Thanksgiving Day 2018, and available until Nov.25.
.

.
The odds will change each day and you can lock in at those odds by betting by the end of each particular day. Or you can wait until Sunday and see which horses or sire’s progeny have run this weekend. It’s up to you.
.
But the Grids here are only reflecting the initial morning line odds, so you will check with your local wagering service for the real time odds before you bet anything.
.
The Grid gives you the performance figures (PF’s) and some other factors regarding early pace, late pace, and power, along with trainer and sire information.
.
Those contenders with sires in bold mean that the sires have individual wagering entries in the Sire Futures Grid. Correspondingly, those in bold in the Sires Grid have individual progeny bettable in the Futures Grid.
.
For fun I was comparing the sires and this year’s Derby crop side by side, and you can tell that there’s a big difference. Of course, some of these 2yo’s could go on to put up great triple digit PF’s like the sires on the left.
.

.
Also it’s important to keep in mind that the Thoroughbred Supertest inception was in about 2005, after which horses notoriously delivered less performances as a whole. This is because juicing was almost impossible after the Supertest.
.
Candy Ride, Medaglia D’oro and Ghostzapper were at the tail end of the non-supertesting era. However, horses like Bernardini and Curlin, and Uncle Mo proved that great PF’s are still possible in the supertesting era. So that’s a nice little graphic.
.
So here are the actual Kentucky Derby Futures Grids, so that you can make your own decisions on who to bet this weekend.
