By: SPORTS NETWORK

Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - The first of three Kentucky Derby Future Wagers closed Sunday night with the mutuel field and Eclipse Award winner Uncle Mo getting the bulk of the backing. There were 24 betting interests including 23 individual three-year-olds along with a mutuel field.

The mutuel field, which includes all three-year-olds not listed in the pool, was bet down to 2-1 from its 5-2 morning-line. Uncle Mo, the 2010 Breeders' Cup Juvenile champ, closed at 7-2 after opening at 9-2.

Trained by Todd Pletcher, Uncle Mo is scheduled to make his 2011 debut in either next month's Tampa Bay Derby or an allowance race at Gulfstream Park the same day.

Holy Bull Stakes winner Dialed In finished as the third choice at 8-1. The colt, trained by D. Wayne Lukas, is expected to start in Saturday's Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

The 137th Kentucky Derby will be conducted on Saturday, May 7 at Churchill Downs.
