Kentucky Derby fans will have the opportunity to feast on Future Wager action over Thanksgiving weekend. Pool 1 of the 2021 Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW) begins Thursday at noon and closes Sunday at 6 p.m. (ET), running concurrently with the one and only Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager.

In Pool 1, the historically popular “All other 3-year-old colts and geldings” option has been installed as the 6-5 choice on the morning line. As expected, individual favoritism goes to unbeaten Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) winner Essential Quality, pegged at 10-1 for Brad Cox.
Sharing 15-1 second favoritism are two who were not in the Breeders’ Cup. The Chad Brown-trained Highly Motivated romped in the Nyquist in track-record time earlier on “Future Stars Friday” at Keeneland, and Life Is Good just smoked his Del Mar debut Sunday for six-time Derby winner Bob Baffert. Another recent first-out winner for Baffert, Savile Row, is listed at 20-1.
The respective second through fourth to Essential Quality in the Juvenile – Hot Rod Charlie, Keepmeinmind, and Jackie’s Warrior – are all 20-1. Other Juvenile alumni in Pool 1 are fifth Rombauer and fellow also-rans King Fury, Sittin on Go, and Reinvestment Risk. Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf (G1) upsetter Fire at Will, who earlier captured the off-the-turf With Anticipation, is a 30-1 shot.
“All others” is likewise the morning-line favorite at 9-2 in the Sire Future Wager, but the price differential with the top individual choices isn’t as large. Essential Quality’s sire, Tapit, is the 6-1 joint individual favorite along with Into Mischief, sire of 2020 Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) champion Authentic. Next comes the 15-1 quartet of Curlin, Street Sense, Tiznow, and Uncle Mo.
The 147th running of the Kentucky Derby is scheduled for May 1, 2021, a return to its traditional spot on the calendar after this year’s pandemic-delayed edition. But there will still be an extra Future Wager pool available next spring. The remaining KDFW dates are, tentatively, Jan. 22-24 (Pool 2), Feb. 12-14 (Pool 3), March 5-7 (Pool 4 as well as the lone Kentucky Oaks Future Wager) and March 26-28 (Pool 5).
