2026 Kentucky Derby Future Pools

[Trigger]

As I shouted, the KYD Future Pool 3 is still open until 6:00pm EST today.  Basically Win & Exacta Wagering are available.

Pool 1 was the same type wagering, win & exacta.
Pool 2 was win & exacta and the winning horse's sire could be wagered on.

Here are the results (payouts upon winning) you can download info from the 2 previous pools, and this one here.

Last year I was super fortunate, my 2 equally wagered on horses in all the pools was East Avenue and Sovereignty, and while East Avenue was a bustout, I managed to cash in every pool, including the Oaks pool where Good Cheer the heavy fav going in won.  As the pools continued on I added a few more bustouts, but Sovereignty made it a very winning, and fun proposition overall.

2026 Derby...These first 2 pools I went with Boyd, Englishman & Napoleon Solo who I'm putting much more $ on the latter.  This third pool I added Incredibolt.  Of course I like Other 3Y Olds but only in the exactas.  I used Ted Noffey but too short odds, looking for value from the potential winner and key horse in exactas.

Possibly triple digit payouts on odds for $2, exacta possible payouts that are in the tens of thousands of dollars for a buck!

So far I'm $426 invested in the 3 pools combined, gives me something to live for  , the first Sat in May - Lastly, if you win, it took last year like an hour or so after the KYD went official until all these future pools wagers went official and cashed in my ADW account - GOOD LUCK!

Mesquite was flying and just missed yesterday.

He's 71-1 right now, his exacta probable payouts are probably busting out.
