More than half of Derby future wagers in Nevada are made in the prior year, so its pretty slim pickins for value by this time. The best bets at this stage are lightly-raced runners who will start fairly soon. There's not much point in playing a horse who won't make his seasonal debut before February because the price won't change much, if at all, and so many things can happen to derail the Derby bid. If I were inclined to make future plays this late, I'd look at the probables for the Lecomte and other stakes being held in early to mid-January.
