For those of you ripping up Kentucky Oaks Future Wager tickets today after it was announced champion Indian Blessing will skip the Oaks, you got what you deserved!

Indian Blessing closed as the 4-1 favorite in Pool 1, and 8-1 in Pool 2 this past weekend. Yet believing that she was a smart play at either price totally misses the point of the Future Wager. These odds are simply way too low to accept on a horse weeks out from the race.

Rather, her backing in both pools opened up some juicy prices on other prospects. And no, Country Star wasn’t one of them.
