right now there are three
PowerUpPaynter: Right now I am looking closely at four horses each of which carry the Raise A Native sire line, Buckpasser in the X passing position and a strong conduit mare in tail female:
Butch Walker
Sonic Mule
Irish War Jig
Classic Empire
One side note: Just because a horse carries the above three pedigree factors is no guarantee that he will run well in the preps. However, horses that carry one or more of the above three factors have done exceedingly well in the Derby if they run a fast finish in one of the major prep races (the big 5) --Fla Derby, Blue Grass, SA Derby, Wood Memorial, or Ark Derby.
I am sure many more horses will become contenders as the prep races are run in Jan, Feb, March and April.
