it is early to start thinking about Kentucky Derby future bets, but this is the time of year when you can find the megabombs if you’re willing to put your money on a wing and a prayer.

What is most exciting about this year’s 2-year-old crop is the abundance of top-quality stamina-oriented horses. Here are several to watch, in no particular order, many of whom are 100-1 or higher at the Wynn Sports Book.

Terrain – Of those between the 50-1 and 100-1 range, this colt looks like a good deal at 50-1, considering he closes consistently in top-class company, was beaten only 2 1/4 lengths when fourth in the BC Juvenile, and has a strong pedigree top and bottom. Maternal granddam is a half-sister to Unbridled. He’s in good hands at Fair Grounds with Al Stall.

Break Water Edison – This horse looks a bit high at 60-1. He has all the pedigree you’d want and won the Nashua Stakes over Hello Broadway, who I would consider one of the top two or three Derby candidates in the country right now, and who could be number one with a victory in Saturday’s Remsen. And even Hello Broadway is an attractive 40-1, the same price as the exciting undefeated colt Old Fashioned, who also runs in the Remsen, and BC Juvenile runner-up and Breeders’ Futurity winner Square Eddie.

Pioneerof the Nile – Former trainer Bill Mott was high on this son of Empire Maker, who will only get better next year. He finished a respectable fifth in the BC Juvenile, beaten only 2 3/4 lengths, and just has to prove himself on dirt. At 75-1, it could be worth the gamble. Garrett Gomez chose to ride him over the Real Quiet winner Chocolate Candy in the CashCall Futurity.

Believe in Hope – The son of Thunder Gulch was forced to miss the BC Juvenile and hasn’t worked since. He showed enough of a closing punch in the Norfolk Stakes (gr. I) to suggest better things to come, and if gets back in training in a relatively short period of time, 60-1 could be a decent price.

Chocolate Candy – Although he lost Gomez, this is still a horse to be reckoned with. The son of Candy Ride has won his last two for Jerry Hollendorfer and should only improve. If you like the Rasmussen Factor (inbred to top-class mares), he is inbred to Alanesian through Boldnesian and Herbalesian, the dam of Candy Ride’s sire Ride the Rails. Alanesian also is the dam of Princessnesian, who beat the boys in the Hollywood Gold Cup. He looks pretty attractive at 100-1
