'All Others' Favored in Derby Future Wager Pool 3
With the Kentucky Derby (G1) still 15 weeks away, the pari-mutuel field of "All Other 3 Year Olds" closed as the 7-2 favorite in Pool 3 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager and unbeaten Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) winner Ted Noffey, from the barn of two-time Derby winner Todd Pletcher, was the 6-1 second choice. Other horses who attracted mild interest from bettors included the Chad Brown-trained Remsen Stakes (G2) winner Paladin (14-1) and recent Gulfstream Park debut winner Chief Wallabee (17-1) trained by two-time Kentucky Derby winner Bill Mott.
