The first of three Kentucky Derby 2010 future wager pools opens Friday and runs through Sunday for the 136th renewal of America’s Race on the first Saturday in May.
The pools were shortened a day to three because little betting was conducted on Thursdays. Exacta wagering introduced with last year’s second pool will be available in all three along with the standard win bet.
The future wager covers 23 individual 3-year-olds, with some pretty good odds, and a 24th betting interest that includes other runners.

The Cigar Mile Handicap, named for the top money-winning thoroughbred for a decade, has attracted several Cigar Mile contenders that raced at the distance only once.
Well, Cigar ran a mile on the dirt only twice in his 33-race career, both times at Aqueduct where the Grade 1 has been held except for 1993 since debuting in ‘88 as the NYRA Mile. He won by seven lengths on Nov. 26, 1994, a month after taking an allowance race by eight lengths.
Those two victories were the start of a 16-race winning streak that equaled Citation’s modern-day North American record.
