McCracken Popular in Kentucky Derby Future Wagering

February 27, 2017

McCracken was popular in the advance Kentucky Derby future wagering this weekend. He closed at about 5-1 which may not be far off his odds come the first Saturday in May.

I am not really a fan of the Kentucky Derby future wagering primarily because the odds offered are usually lower than I would want on a horse I don’t even know is in the race. Further, if you can’t find value on Derby day, I don’t know where you can.

That said, American Anthem seemed awfully attractive at 15 or 16-1. I didn’t bite, but that seemed a sharp play to me.

I like what you're putting down Jon. I also Dutch bet exactas for races I have a strong opinion on the winner and 2 I think could complete the exaxta. Use probables to determine bets to reach expected payout.
