Kentucky Oaks Future Wager This Weekend

Streaking champion 2-year-old filly Take Charge Brandi is a narrow choice as the favored individual horse, but the ever-popular mutuel field (#24), or "All Other 3-Year-Old Fillies," is the solid morning-line favorite in odds for Churchill Downs's Longines Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) Future Wager this weekend.

Willis D. Horton's Take Charge Brandi, riding a streak of four consecutive stakes triumphs that began with her 61-1 upset in the $2 million 14 Hands Winery Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (gr. I) Nov. 1 at Santa Anita Park, is the 6-1 favored individual in the lone Kentucky Oaks Future Wager Pool of 2015. 

The Kentucky Oaks Future Wager enables racing fans to wager on contenders for the Kentucky Oaks  in advance of the 2015 renewal of the 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-old fillies.

The wager permits $2 minimum win bets and $2 exactas, which are available in $1 minimum increments in boxes and other multiple number configurations. The KOFW pool runs concurrent to the third of four pools of the 2015 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) Future Wager. 

Wagering in both the Oaks and Derby pools is scheduled to open at noon (all times Eastern) Friday, Feb. 27. Betting in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager pool will conclude at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 1 and Kentucky Oaks Future betting will continue for 30 minutes before the pool closes at 6:30 p.m.
