Six months in advance of Kentucky Derby 2025, the pari-mutuel field of all other colts and geldings closed as the odds-on 4-5 favorite in pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager.
Citizen Bull, the gate-to-wire winner of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, was 29-1 when the Kentucky Derby Future Wager pool closed. Gaming, who chased Citizen Bull around the entire way Friday, closed at 26-1. Hill Road, who closed for third, was the longest-priced horse in the pool at 276-1.
Hopeful (G1) and Champagne (G1) winner Chancer McPatrick was the 9-1 second choice behind the field of all other colts and geldings. The second betting choice in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, Chancer McPatrick finished sixth behind Citizen Bull.
Other horses who attracted mild interest from bettors were Breeders’ Futurity (G1) winner East Avenue (11-1) and Iroquois (G3) winner Jonathan’s Way (19-1).
