Derby Futures 1: Pletcher, Baffert have 11 of 23 ind. horses

[Southieboy]

Todd Pletcher might not have the winner of the 139th Derby on May 4 at Churchill Downs, and Bob Baffert might not either. But between them, they have 11 of the 23 separately listed interests in Pool 1 of the 2013 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, a development that seems to bode well for both.

Seven horses made the Pool 1 cut for Pletcher, whose lone Derby score came in the 2010 running with Super Saver, while four made it for Baffert, the three-time winner whose last triumph came in 2002 with War Emblem. Wagering into the first of the traditional three pools opens Friday at noon Eastern and closes at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday.

On Roger Stein's morning show last weekend, the topic was brought up of taking the Pletcher and Baffert horses against
the field and what odds that would hypothetically be.
