Note that 8 of the entries in the Futures Pool are running this Saturday in various stakes races, unless you count the field (all others) which is also by definition running in each of those stakes races. In the Grid below, note the highlighted horses racing in: Gotham: gray, Tampa Derby: Green, San Felipe:Red.

Kentucky Derby Pool 4 / Oaks Futures Grid
.
Note that the odds lock down at the end of each betting day. For this reason it was important to get the Double Dozen and Grid out today. For example, if you like The Great One in the San Felipe, you’ll want to get him at 50-1 today rather than whatever he goes down to after winning.
