Journalism Made the 4-1 Favorite in Pool 6 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager

[Wandering Eyes]

The final pool of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which begins its three-day run Thursday and continues through Saturday, is led by 4-1 favorite Journalism (Curlin), who heads a field of 39 individual horses, in addition to “All Other 3-Year-Olds” not listed.

Unlike the first five Future Wager pools, Pool 6 will close Saturday at approximately 4 p.m. ET, prior to the GII Wood Memorial, GI Blue Grass and GI Santa Anita Derby.

Wagering for Pool 6 opens Thursday at noon through www.TwinSpires.com, as well as simulcast and ADW outlets nationwide. Like the first five pools, win and exacta wagering is offered.

Journalism, the winner of last month's GII San Felipe, is set to face a compact field in the Santa Anita Derby, including Eclipse Award winner Citizen Bull (Into Mischief), listed at 10-1 in the future wager. Journalism, trained by Michael McCarthy and owned by Bridlewood Farm, Don Alberto Stable, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Elayne Stables 5, Bob LaPenta and Coolmore, closed as the 5-1 favorite in Pool 5 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager.
