Description:
Two 2-year-olds from the barn of Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, Dortmund and American Pharoah, paced the individual selections Nov. 30 as the first future wager pool for the 2015 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) concluded.
Kaleem Shah's Dortmund, a son of Big Brown, is 2-for-2 in his brief career for three-time Derby winner Baffert. Yet to make his first stakes appearance, Dortmund closed as the top individual choice at 9-1, bet down from 50-1 on the morning line.
Meanwhile, Zayat Stables' two-time grade I winner American Pharaoh, who opened at 12-1 on the early line, finished at those same odds.
The mutuel field, as is almost always the case in the early future wagering, closed as the 3-5 favorite among the 24 betting interests listed in pool 1.
Others of greatest interest to bettors at this early stage were Texas Red at 14-1 and Carpe Diem at 15-1.
A total of $185,492 was wagered on the opening win pool, which started Nov. 28 and concluded at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 30. An additional $49,082 was bet on exactas.
