With the Pegasus Cup happening this weekend, the Kentucky Derby is already making headlines on all horse racing platforms. Popularly known as the Run For The Roses, the Derby will go back to its original date on April 30 to May 1, 2021. It will saddle up in its home field at Churchill Downs, Kentucky, featuring the newest batch of all three-year-old racehorses.

Before this luminary horse racing takes place, sportsbooks are looking into generating the Kentucky Derby Future Wager. It is a betting game enlisting the possible racehorses that will run the Derby, including the trails in line this year. There are five pools in the Derby Future Wager, which runs until March 28, 2021.

Today, the KDFW is on Week 2, which will begin on January 22 to the 24th. This is another chance for the bettors to pick a deserving horse that might make it to the final Derby list and win big prizes. To give you spice in making a safe bet, here are some horses listed in the Week 2 Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool.
