The composition of the Kentucky Derby (G1) field changed three times on Thursday, allowing all the also-eligibles to draw in.

Forte, last year’s champion juvenile male and longtime Kentucky Derby (G1) favorite, has landed in post 15 for Saturday’s 149th Run for the Roses.

Before Forte shrugged off a problematic trip to prevail in the Florida Derby (G1), bettors had already declared their faith in the champion by backing him into 5-2 favoritism in Pool 6 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW).

When betting closed on Sunday, “All Other Three Year Olds” was the overall 2-1 favorite in Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 4.

Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 3 saw “All Other Three-Year-Old Males” close as the overall favorite, with Forte the preferred individual choice.

The closing of Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 2 and the Kentucky Derby Sire Future Wager provided a burst of intrigue for Derby-focused horseplayers.
