The horses do not have to be nominated to the Kentucky Derby and Visa Triple Crown Challenge to be included in the Kentucky Derby Future Wager's mutuel field. The horses included in each of the wagering pools will be listed alphabetically and will appear in the daily race program with morning line odds established by Churchill Downs and Kentucky Derby handicapper Mike Battaglia. The payout on the winning wagers in each of the three Kentucky Derby Future Wager pools will be determined by the final odds at the time of closing of each of the respective pools. Remember, there will be a separate and independent calculation and distribution of winning wagers for each of the three pools. No refunds will be issued in any of the three wagering pools for the Kentucky Derby Future Wager.
All wagers are final once the patron has left the window.
If Churchill Downs learns that a horse listed among the wagering interests in any of the three Kentucky Derby Future Wager pools will not be able to compete in the 2001 Kentucky Derby, wagering on that horse will be suspended. Churchill Downs will make reasonable efforts to notify its patrons and participating tracks in that event and urges the participating tracks to do the same, but no refunds will be issued on the suspended number. In the extremely unlikely event that the 2001 Kentucky Derby is not run or does not produce an official winner, all wagers on the Kentucky Derby Future Wager will result in a refund. All calculations and payouts for the Kentucky Derby Future Wagers are governed by Kentucky Racing Commission regulations. The winning payouts will be made within 24 hours of the posting of the official winner of the 2001 Kentucky Derby.
