Contenders as of March 2, 2006
Here is a list of
primary Kentucky Derby Future Wager contenders based on 3f final time
and energy distribution. There was no consideration of final
time. I will add and subtract horses as time passes. What
is interesting is the horses that are missing from the list because
they have not shown that they want to run longer. They may be
added in the future, but this is the list in alphabetical order as of
the 3/2/2006 date:

The last two
haven't shown that they can run at 9f so the jury is still out on them.
There are two other horses who have yet to run a mile, Keyed Entry and Latent Heat, so we will label them as question marks.
Because I am
writing this on March 5, I am aware of the races run this weekend, most
notably Corinthian. While he was disqualified, he did run a big
race. On the other hand, First Samurai didn't look anything like
a classic horse.
I will update
these contenders as information becomes available to me. In any
event, I will update the entire group again at the third Future Wager
Pool time. Good luck, and may the horse be with you!
