Futurity Stakes 2011

Ten thoroughbreds will participate in the 2011 Futurity Stakes and they have drawn the barriers where they will start as well. Based on her impressive performance before the race, More Joyous has been hailed as the top favourite to win the race with betting odds of 1.55. The Gai Waterhouse-trained race horse recently won the 1200-metre Breeders Classic by 2 ½ lengths and she now has won 11 of her 15 career races. More Joyous will start from the first barrier of the 2011 Futurity Stakes.

The runner-up favourite for the race is Whobegotyou with 2011 Futurity Stakes betting odds of 6.00. The Mark Kavanagh-trained race horse will race once again after a third place finish at the 2010 Cox Plate. For those who are gunning for a quinella bet, More Joyous and Whobegotyou can score the victory for you. Whobegotyou will start from the tenth barrier of the 2011 Futurity Stakes.

Another race horse that has single-digit betting odds is the Tony Noonan-trained Ortensia which has bettng odds of 9.50 and he finished in third place at the C.F. Orr Stakes. Ortensia will start from the fifth barrier. Behind Ortensia are Doubtful Jack and King Mufhasa with identical 2011 Futurity Stakes betting odds of 12.00. Doubtful Jack will start from the sixth barrier while King Mufhasa will jump from the fourth barrier.

We’re Gonna Rock is assigned with betting odds of 16.00 and will start from the seventh barrier while Dao Dao is tagged with win betting odds of 18.00 and will start his 2011 Futurity Stakes campaign from the eighth barrier. Voile Rouge has betting odds of 51.00 and will try to make a move from the third barrier while Cest La Guerre and Avienus have identical betting odds of 61.00. Cest La Guerre drew the second barrier while Avienus will start from the ninth barrier.

You may use the 2011 Futurity Stakes betting odds to make standard bets or exotic bets. Standard bets include the win bet, the place bet and the each-way bet. In the win bet, you simply have to pick the race horse that will win the race. For the place bet, you will pick the horses that you think will finish first, second and third and you will win if you get any of the three places right.

For the each-way bet, you can place two bets on one horse. This means that you can have one of two payouts if your chosen horse wins the 2011 Futurity Stakes or if it finished second or third. This bet is ideal especially if there are three equally-talented race horses in a particular race.

You can also use the 2011 Futurity Stakes betting odds for exotic bets which involve a number of horses and these bets are harder to satisfy given the higher volume of horses needed to complete the bet. Under the exotic odds are the trifecta bet, the quinella bet, the exacta bet and the first four bet.

For the trifecta bet, you must pick the three race horses that will cross the 2011 Futurity Stakes finish line first in exact order. Meanwhile, the quinella bet requires that you pick the first two horses that will finish the race regardless of order. If you want a tougher bet, the exacta bet requires you to pick the top two horses that will finish the race in exact order.

The toughest bet that you can make is the first four bet wherein you must choose the first four race horses that will finish the race in exact order. Winning this bet gives you a payout that is bigger than any other bet.

Thus, there is no guarantee that the top favourite will win. Betting odds simply tell the possibility of a specific horse in winning the 2011 Futurity Stakes. Also, a small payout is due if the race horse with the shortest betting odds win. To maximize their winnings, punters usually place accumulator bets due to the larger payouts that it possess.

The accumulator bet lets a punter place his bet on one horse in many races. For this betting option, the betting odds of the chosen horse are multiplied to gain bigger odds. However, this payout can only be won if the chosen horse will win all of the races that he participated in.

This is the reason why some punters look down the 2011 Futurity Stakes betting odds list and have a thorough look at the horses that are bunched there. To guarantee a victory, they often place equal betting amounts on a horse with short betting odds and a horse with long betting odds but has the potential to pull off a surprise during the 2011 Futurity Stakes.
