Weekend Winners Club

. February 7, 2020.  Kentucky Derby Futures Pool 2 opens on Friday and will go on through Sunday.  Note that the odds will change in real time daily.  The morning line favorite is “all other 3yo’s” as usual, and the individual favorite is Tiz the Law after his Holy Bull G3 win last week. . […]
