Six months in advance of Kentucky Derby 149, 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 (KDFW) and impressive debut winner Extra Anejo was the 12-1 second choice.
Extra Anejo, a fast 9 ½-length winner of a maiden special weight at Keeneland on Oct. 13 for owner Winchell Thoroughbreds and Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, could resurface next in the $400,000 Kentucky Jockey Club (Grade 2) at Churchill Downs on Nov. 26.
Other horses who attracted mild interest from bettors include the Todd Pletcher-trained Breeders' Futurity (G1) winner Forte (16-1) and Chad Brown-trained Champagne (G1) winner Blazing Sevens (20-1), who will meet in Friday's $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) at Keeneland, as well as Breeders' Futurity runner-up Loggins (27-1), who is conditioned by Brad Cox.
