With 22 weeks still remaining before the 152nd Kentucky Derby, the pari-mutuel field known as “All Other Foals from the 2023 Crop” emerged as the 2-1 favorite in Pool 2 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager (KDFW).

The individual favorite was Spendthrift Farm’s undefeated Ted Noffey, the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) hero from Todd Pletcher’s barn, who settled as the 7-1 second choice.

Fresh off his victory in Saturday’s Kentucky Jockey Club (G2), Further Ado also drew bettors’ attention at 13-1.
