"the kentucky derby, sartin programs

contender guidelines:

1) use only horses who have won or placed in grade 1 or grade 2 prep races. no other horses considered regardless of hype etc.

2) distance of paceline should be more than 8 furlongs.

3) don't worry bout off track lines here. its not the horses fault that it rained the day of their prep.

4) enter these grade 1 and grade 2 win and place lines into program.

5) ok to start go to corrolary screen. keep only the early (epr) horse who has the best cpr(composite pace rating) and fx.

6) he is the first "finalist" to make the final dance!

7) ok now right down the top 3 lpr (late pace rating) and top 3 he(hidden energy) horses on the corrolary screen.

8) these are your contenders. hide everone else. PERIOD.

9) pay no attention to running "style".

Do races limited to fillies count as well as long as they are G1/2 at 8.5 f+. ?
