Fierceness Made Solid 7-2 Favorite in Pool 6 of Kentucky Derby Future Wager

Apr 02, 2024

The final pool of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager is set to make its three-day run Thursday-Saturday where Repole Stable’s recent Florida Derby (Grade I) winner Fierceness was tabbed as the solid 7-2 favorite in the field of 39 individual horses plus a 40th option for “All Other 3-Year-Olds” not listed.

Unlike the first five Future Wager pools, Pool 6 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager will close Saturday at approximately 4 p.m. ET prior to the $750,000 Wood Memorial (Grade II), $1 million Blue Grass (GI) and $750,000 Santa Anita Derby (GI). The Blue Grass will be drawn Tuesday morning while the Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby will be drawn Wednesday.

Pool 6 will feature $2 Win and Exacta wagering. Fans can wager via www.TwinSpires.com along with simulcast and ADW outlets from around the country.

Fierceness, the champion 2-year-old and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (GI) winner, had his final prep prior to the 150th running of the $5 million Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve (GI) when he dominated eight rivals by 13 ½ lengths in last Saturday’s Florida Derby (GI). The talented Todd Pletcher trainee is expected to arrive at Churchill Downs soon to begin his preparation for the “Run for the Roses.”
