Kentucky Derby Future Wager pool 1 betting on the 2022 Kentucky Derby opens Thanksgiving weekend.

There are 22 individual betting interests; plus the all other crop of colts and geldings represented by the number 24 when wagers are taken through this holiday weekend; and if you’re inclined to feel that it’s time for another filly to rise to the top from the 2019 foal crop, bettors can place their money down on the #23 for a chance to cheer home the girls.

Of interest to bettors will be the fact that of the 22 individual horses listed by name, none are trained by seven-time Kentucky Derby winning trainer Bob Baffert who has been barred from competing in the 2022 Kentucky Derby.
