OXO Equine LLC’s Instagrand, dominant winner of the Best Pal Stakes (G2) at Del Mar, is the 4-1 morning line favorite in the Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Future Wager, and his prolific sire, Spendthrift Farm’s Into Mischief, is the 7-2 favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sires Future Wager, as the fields for the second pools of the Breeders’ Cup Future Wagers were announced today with wagering opening on Friday, Aug. 31.
Future wagering on the Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sires Future Wager will open on Friday at 12 p.m. ET and will conclude on Sunday, Sept. 2 at 6:00 p.m. ET. Both pools will consist of 23 unique wagering interests and one “All Others” wager for a total of 24 betting interests.
The Breeders’ Cup Future Wagers enable fans to bet on possible contenders for select Breeders’ World Championships races well in advance of the Nov. 2-3 event. Odds on horses in the pools could be more attractive than those available on the two days of Championship racing.
Instagrand, trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, broke his maiden at Los Alamitos by a widening 10 lengths on June 29, and followed up that performance with a wire-to-wire 10 ¼-length win in the six-furlong Best Pal on Aug.11. Instagrand is followed in the Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Future Wager pool by Speedway Stable LLC’s Roadster (6-1), a gray/roan son of Quality Road, who was an impressive 4 ½-length winner at 6 furlongs at Del Mar on July 29 for trainer Bob Baffert. Michael Dubb, David Simon, Bethlehem Stables LLC and Bruce Irom’s Call Paul and Claiborne Farm’s and Adele Dilschneider’s Mucho, are listed next, both at 8-1. Call Paul, a bay son of Friesen Fire, trained by Jason Servis, is unbeaten in two starts, including his one-length victory in the 6 ½ furlong Saratoga Special (G2) on Aug. 12. Mucho, a bay of 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Blame, trained by Bill Mott, broke his maiden at Saratoga in a six-furlong special weight by 9 ¾ lengths on Aug. 4.
