From an NTRA press release
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) has set the fields for the final Breeders' Cup Future Bet Pool to be open this weekend. This time the 2-year-olds are up with the Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile and the Long John Silver's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. The field is the morning line favorite for each race as you might expect, with recent winners Sky Mesa and Storm Flag Flying the favored individual horses in each. Pools will be open September 20 - 22, from 1:00-7:00 p.m. (ET) each day.
Sky Mesa, winner of the Hopeful at Saratoga, is the lowest odds individual in the Juvenile Future Bet pool.
Daily Racing Form will provide extensive support for the Breeders' Cup Future Bet, including full past performance lines in all editions for all days the Future Bet is offered, plus comprehensive editorial coverage of the Future Bet horses. A special Breeders' Cup Future Bet section is available at DRF website which includes the same past performances that may be found in the print edition, free to download. The special section will also feature regularly updated odds of horses in the Future Bet pools during open pool
dates.
Storm Flag Flying, winner of the Matron at Belmont, is the lowest odds individual in the Juvenile Fillies Future Bet pool.
