American Pharoah Touted in Derby Future Wager
Image:
Description:
In the first 2015 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, set to open a three-day run of betting Nov. 28, two-time grade I winner American Pharoah is the top individual morning-line choice at odds of 12-1.
As usual, the "all others" wagering interest is the morning-line favorite at 3-5. "All others" would include all 3-year-olds of 2015 not listed on the first future wager, which includes 23 individual horses and the "all others" option. Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia set the morning-line for the wager, the first of four Derby future wagers planned before the 2015 Louisville classic.
