Renegade is the 6-1 favorite in the early wagering of the Preakness Future Wager as of Thursday morning. The Todd Pletcher trainee was the morning line favorite in the Preakness Future Wager and is also the current wagering favorite for the Kentucky Derby with odds of 5-1.
The Preakness Future Wager continues until 6:00 p.m. Saturday – shortly before the Kentucky Derby goes off. It includes 39 horses plus “all other three-year-olds.” At press time, there was less than $61,000 in the pool, so there could still be significant movement in the odds.
