I was going to wait until after the Remsen at Aqueduct and the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill on November 26 before putting together any kind of list of potential 2006 Kentucky Derby contenders, but in the past week a surprising number of visitors have come to the site searching for variations of “2006 Derby picks” and “Early Kentucky Derby picks,” so I think I’ll start one now …
The super-early Railbird top 10 Kentucky Derby prospects:
1. Stevie Wonderboy
2. First Samurai
3. Henny Hughes
4. Private Vow
5. Sorceror’s Stone
6. Catcominacha
7. Flanders Fields
8. Dawn of War
9. Brother Derek
10. Superfly
List to be updated and expanded later — perhaps in December sometime, when a couple of new dazzling two-year-olds have emerged even as a couple of others have fallen off the Derby trail before they’re really on it.
