With less than two weeks to go until the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby, the Associated Press stands firm on its top two contenders: Unbeaten Florida Derby winner Big Brown remains No. 1, with Santa Anita Derby winner Colonel John at No. 2.Meanwhile, the one-time Derby favorite War Pass, who finished second in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, has a left front ankle injury and is out until the fall, trainer Nick Zito said.
"It just wasn't meant to be, maybe," said Zito, a two-time Derby winner. "It's a shame because he has all the ability in the world. He's one of the best I've ever had."
Fortunately, Zito still has two 3-year-olds on the Top 20 Kentucky Derby contenders list: Cool Coal Man and Anak Nakal.
