2005 Kentucky Derby Contenders

Updated: 05/04/2005

RESULTS HERE!
ENTRIES HERE!

Here is my latest look at the contenders for the Kentucky Derby. All the major preps are over now, and the favorites are starting to sort themselves out. Triple Crown nominations and the Experimental Free Handicap (with dual qualifiers) are out and late nominations closed on March 26. Keep an eye on this page as I will be updating it regularly as the preps are run and more info is available.

Be sure to click the link on each horse's name to view full info, stats, and a photo where available. Jockey assignments are very tentative at this point and probably won't firm up until sometime in April. A star next to the dosage index indicates a dual qualifier.

Best Beyer figure have been added to all profiles and top contenders have been put in order of their graded stakes earnings. Expect lots of new links to be added to profiles now that we are in the final stretch.
