Title: 2005 Derby Future
Post by: spook_express on December 27, 2004, 09:26:11 AM
I know in general its probably a bed bet, but I along with others seem to hooked by the future wager heading into a new year. Probably for bagging rights to be right this far out and the illusion of a big odds score (I say illusion because many of us tend to play multiple horses by race day which cuts those long odds). I refuse to take anything too low this far out so that knocks out FuSham, DeClan, etc.  I have a play in on Deputy Indy at 75/1 and am hoping for an entry in the newly scheduled Aventura.  

Anyone else have any plays in or opinions on potential value this far out?

Kenny McPeek has a stable full of good 3 yr olds at GP this year, almost all of them under the radar.  He\'s highest on Diamond Isle and Kansas City Boy.  I got 150-1 on KC Boy @ Bally\'s, which I think is a fair price.  DI was listed at 75-1, which I think is bordering on an underlay at this time of the year.
