The Future closes the day after FL Derby so that part helps. A decisive Mohaymen win this weekend might even get you better Future odds on Gun Runner than on Derby day. Keep in mind some bettors will be turned off by the slow time he won with. Agree the Bluegrass, Wood, and Ark winners will take some more money come Derby day but that does not guarantee the odds on any particular horse will be higher at that time. Some of that is already priced into the Future odds. Lots of factors like post, rider, workouts, etc. will have an impact on post time odds. There's also likely a much different betting crowd than what the Future wagers bring in. I'm expecting around 14-1 in the Future which is around where Destin and Danzing Candy finished after their 50 point prep wins in Future 3. Derby day odds should be similar barring a couple very strong wins in remaining preps.
