That sure looks like alot and there are probably more. Was there a horse called Sierra Sunset going for the derby?

[WinterTriangle]

Thanks Cat. I did a search on that one, I think he was a drop out from last year though....2008.

Amazing list. I always try and goad my friends into a bet and say on January 15th. Name me any three horses (3yr) u want. I guarantee you one of them won't make the Kentucky Derby.

A good reason to put a reasonable wager on {the field} during the 1st Derby Futures round. At least this year, it made up for my losses when MTB won the Derby.

It would be really interesting to see if this year was worse than prior years. It seems to me that it was particularly bad. Quality Road, The Pamplemousse and I Want Revenge were favorites within the month before the Derby - I don't remember that happening before.

Yep , Cribnote was one of my early Derby picks to watch, then he fell off
the radar .

[WinterTriangle]

I'm gonna keep updating til the end of 2009.

There are others, this is just the list of the "major" players.

Looks to me like our best and brightest can't make it past their beginning of 3rd year as *racehorses* anymore.

plus earlier hopefuls noted by other posters in topic.

* not taking Quality Road off the list because there is no telling how long his "career" as a racehorse will be with 2 quarter cracks

[Irish Boy]

I don't think Giant Oak was ever injured. There was only six weeks between his race in the Illinois Derby and his win in the Arlington Classic. And he just ran again today.
