Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 2 Grid
.
Friday, Feb.8 2019. Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 2 begins today and runs through Sunday, Feb.10. As usual there are 23 individual entries and one entry for other horses not listed by name, known as “The Field.”
.
.
To kick off, The Field is the favorite with a morning line of 5-2. Bob Baffert’s Game Winner is the most favored single entry at 6-1. Baffert’s Improbable is the 2nd individual choice at 8-1, and Baffert’s Mucho Gusto and Coliseum are tied for the 5th ML choice at 15-1.

Game Winner of the BC Juvenile November 2 2018 Churchill Downs
.
In between the Baffert stable are Jerry Hollendorfer’s Instagrand at 10-1, who hasn’t raced since August, and Bill Mott’s Hidden Scroll at 12-1, whose only race was a 14 length maiden win at a Gulfstream Mile in January.
.
Game Winner could well end up being the favorite in this pool, even though he probably won’t race again until March. Coliseum’s odds will likely go up since his only race this year was a dud in the Sham G3.
.
Hidden Scroll’s only race was impressive but it’s possible that he thrives on the sloppy track like his sire Hard Spun, who finished 2nd in the Kentucky Derby in 2007.
.
Another horse of interest who didn’t make the last Derby Dozen 30-1 Win Win Win, who has yet to go around 2 turns but has been impressive in his 4 races so far. Last out he won the 7f Pasco Stakes at Tampa by 7 lengths.
.
In this pool anything over 10-1 that you can make a case for is good value, so find some you like using the Grid.
