It's never too early to prepare for the Kentucky Derby

Pool One of the Kentucky Derby futures wager has been released. Go here to check out some early favorites.

My preliminary top 6

War Pass: 12-1...Undefeated with two Grade 1 wins...highest speed figure.

Pyro: 12-1...Gamer but only win is Maiden race...trains with Eclipse winner Curlin.

El Gato Malo: 15-1...Undefeated...closest anyone has come is 4.5 lengths.

Yankee Bravo: 20-1...Undefeated...started out on grass like Barbaro.

Monba: 30-1...Strong finisher trained by Pletcher.

Bob Black Jack: 50-1...Second highest speed figure but has not run longer than 7 furlongs.

I'll probably throw down 2 bucks on at least a couple of these depending on how the odds move.

Wagering ends on Sunday 2/10/08.
