It's never too early to start looking toward the Kentucky Derby. As crazy as it sounds, the 135th running is less than 25 days from today. Most prep races are either completed or will be by this coming Saturday night with the only exception being the Lexington Stakes April 18th at Keeneland. Here is a look at one site's Top 10 Derby 135 contenders. Churchill Downs also has a few experts look at their top contenders.My favorite was The Pamplemousse until he got scratched for the summer. The Breeder's Cup Juvenile winner last year, Midshipman, is also hurt and out of the Triple Crown picture. Easily the most impressive prep race was conducted at Aquaduct for the Wood Memorial last weekend. I Want Revenge stumbled at the start and came from dead last to win with ease.........without the whip coming out...............................with 19-year old hot shot jockey Joe Talamo. Very impressive.
