If you placed a bet in Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 4, Pool 5, or Pool 6, your wager is held as an active bet in your MyWinners account until Derby Day on Saturday 2 May 2026. You can check the status of these wagers at any time in your account, and this article explains exactly where to find them and how to identify the horse you backed.
Where to Find Your Active Future Wager Bets
Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pool 4, Pool 5, and Pool 6 bets placed with MyWinners are stored in your account under your live racing wager history. To view them:
Log in to your MyWinners account on the app or website.
Open the main Menu.
Select Wager History.
Choose Live Racing.
Tap the Active tab.
Your open Pool 4, Pool 5, and Pool 6 selections will be listed there, along with your stake, bet type, and the pool you wagered into.
Why You See a Horse Number Instead of a Horse Name
Each Kentucky Derby Future Wager pool uses a fixed list of horses and mutuel field entries numbered 1 through 40. When you view an active Future Wager bet in your Wager History, the selection is shown using that pool number rather than the horse name. This is how the pool is structured by Churchill Downs and applies across all operators, not just MyWinners.
To match your pool number back to a horse name, use the official Kentucky Derby Future Wager page. It lists every entry in each pool along with current odds and payout information.
How to Match Your Pool Number to a Horse Name
Open your Wager History and note the pool (Pool 4, Pool 5, or Pool 6) and the number you backed.
Visit the official Kentucky Derby Future Wager page at kentuckyderby.com/wager/future-wager.
Select the pool you bet into (Pool 4, Pool 5, or Pool 6).
Find your number on the list to see the horse name and current payout.
A Quick Note on Pools 1, 2, and 3
Kentucky Derby Future Wager Pools 1, 2, and 3 were offered on the previous MyWinners platform. Pool 4, Pool 5, and Pool 6 are the pools available in your new MyWinners account. If you have questions about a bet placed in an earlier pool, contact MyWinners customer support and we will help you track it down.
Ready for Derby Day?
