A pair of unbeaten stars in Shadwell Stable's Fountain of Youth (gr. II) winner Mohaymen and Reddam Racing reigning champion 2-year-old male Nyquist, winner of the grade II San Vicente at Santa Anita Park in his 2016 debut, rank as the individual and overall early betting choices among 24 wagering interests in Churchill Downs Racetrack's third of four pools in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager ("KDFW"), which launches its three-day run Friday, March 11.
Mohaymen (#13), a gray son of Tapit who ran his streak of perfection for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin to five races with an easy win in the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 27, was installed as the 7-2 KDFW Pool 3 favorite in Churchill Downs' handicapper Mike Battaglia's morning-line odds for the wager.

Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) winner Nyquist (#15), a son of Uncle Mo who has won each of six races for trainer Doug O'Neill, was installed at odds of 9-2 for Pool 3, which makes the champion the co-second choice with the Mutuel Field (#24), or "All Others."
The always-popular "All Others" bet includes all 3-year-old Thoroughbreds other than the 23 individual horses listed on the pool's 24 betting interests.

The penultimate of four pools in the 2016 Kentucky Derby Future Wager begins at noon (all times Eastern) Friday. Three days of Derby future betting is set to close at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 13. The Derby Futures pool will parallel the 2016 pool of Churchill Downs' Kentucky Oaks Future Wager, which also will close Sunday, but that pool's 6:30 p.m. close will come 30 minutes after the final wager in the Derby bet is accepted.
Wagering on KDFW Pool 3 will be offered at Churchill Downs; via Twinspires.com, the official online wagering platform of the Kentucky Derby, and other online outlets; and at racetracks and satellite wagering centers throughout North America.
