A convincing winner of the San Felipe (G2) on March 1, #23 Journalism is expected to lead the market in Pool 5 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW) this weekend. The two-time stakes winner has been installed as the 3-1 morning line favorite among 39 individual betting interests and an option for “All Other 3-Year-Olds” not listed.
Pool 5 will run concurrently with the lone Kentucky Oaks Future Wager (KOFW), which is headed by unbeaten Rachel Alexandra (G2) winner Good Cheer. Both pools open Friday at noon (ET). Pool 5 closes at 6 p.m. Sunday, while the Oaks Future Wager remains open until 6:30 p.m.
Both pools feature $2 Win and Exacta wagering, as well as a separate Oaks/Derby Future Double linking selections in both races.
A pair of individual entrants in Pool 5, #18 Getaway Car and #30 Rapture, will contest Saturday’s $500,000 Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs.
Journalism’s final prep for the $5 million Kentucky Derby (G1) will come in the Santa Anita Derby (G1) on April 5.
Other runners expected to attract support in Pool 5 include champion two-year-old male #10 Citizen Bull, who has won three consecutive stakes for six-time Kentucky Derby winner Bob Baffert; his stablemate #2 Barnes, runner-up in the San Felipe; Fountain of Youth (G2) winner #35 Sovereignty; and Rebel (G2) winner #12 Coal Battle.
The sixth and final pool of the KDFW is scheduled for April 3-5.
