LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Churchill Downs officials announced late Friday that a future wager on the 2014 Kentucky Derby will be offered at the end of November, by far the earliest such parimutuel futures have been offered since first being made available in 1999.

The pool will be open for four days, from Wednesday, Nov. 27, through Saturday, Nov. 30, closing at post time of either the Remsen at Aqueduct or the Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill, whichever is run first.

The three pools normally offered in the months preceding the Derby will be offered on this schedule: Feb. 6-8; Feb. 27-March 1; and March 27-29. The lone Kentucky Oaks futures pool will coincide with the second of those three.

The standard win and exacta formats remain, with 23 individually listed interests and a 24th “all others” option.

Will they ever make it a true Vegas like future and give a few hundred betting options? It would be pretty cool to see what all those options would look like in a pari-mutuel pool.

Bizarre placement. Leave it to CDI to try and squeeze the lemon some more.

Better off waiting for the day of the race then to get suckered into this lousy wager.

If they wanted to really juice the lemon they would get over that HUGE technical hurdle of offering only 24 entries

That's too difficult for a publicly traded company that feels the need to charge you 150 bucks to walk in the door to bet money on Derby Day.

My money is on a company 3D printing a human liver for transplant before they solve the mystery of getting over the 24 entry ceiling on a derby future bet
