Here is my ongoing look at the contenders for the 2007 Kentucky Derby to be run on May 5th. The major preps are all over now and the field is starting to sort itself out. Keep an eye on this page as I will be updating it regularly as more info is available and adding or removing horses as needed.
Jockey assignments are still tentative at this point and won't start to firm up until much closer to the race. We now know who the dual qualifiers are as the Experimental Free Handicap was released on January 25 and the early Triple Crown nominations were just released on February 4. I have put a star beside their dosage index in the list below. It is still early in the game and anything could still happen.
