Today, pool one closes on the Kentucky Derby futures. It looks like the field is a heavy favorite at 3/5. It also looks like trainer Todd Pletcher is loaded with contenders again for this year's running. It is still early, but he seems to have a couple of serious contenders. I would like to interview Pletcher's jockey, Javier Castellano to get his personal opinions of his choices of mounts. Some are truly blessed with surplus galore..

The weekend of Feb. 25-26th will be a good weekend of prep races as some of the top contenders will prove if they go onward towards the Kentucky Derby.
