Unbeaten from two starts, Sham S. (G3) winner Life Is Good has been installed as the 6-1 individual morning line favorite in Pool 2 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW).
Pool 2 will open Friday at noon (ET) and close Sunday at 6 p.m.
The pari-mutuel field of “All Other 3-Year-Olds,” pegged at 9-5 by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike Battaglia, is still expected to be the overall favorite when wagering concludes.
Life Is Good is one of five 3-year-olds in Pool 2 for Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, who earned a record-tying sixth Kentucky Derby victory last year with Authentic. His other runners are Bezos, Concert Tour, Medina Spirit, and Spielberg.
Bezos, an Empire Maker colt who is training forwardly for his career debut, is the first unraced horse to be part of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager.
Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) winner and presumptive 2-year-old champion Essential Quality is the 8-1 morning line co-second choice among individual entrants.
