By James Sheldon on April 30th, 2010

Looking to make a bit of scratch, or do you just want to be in the know? It certainly makes you sound more intelligent when watching the Kentucky Derby, if you actually know which horses are the contenders. So, let’s educate.

Forget the paragraphs and descriptions. We’re goin’ Manolith, substance over style…style. Keep in mind that there are well over 24 hours until the bell, so things may change, horses may scratch–you simply never know. As it stands now:

Lookin’ at Lucky: 3-4/1
Sidney’s Candy: 5/1
Ice Box: 8/1
Awesome Act: 9/1
Noble’s Promise: 10/1
Devil May Care: 10/1
Conveyance: 12/1
Dublin: 12/1
Jackson Bend: 14/1
Super Saver: 15/1
Paddy O’Prado: 16/1
Mission Impazible: 20/1 (Apparently, he’s a gangsta horse. The horses may wanna watch for his dreaded blinder shank.)
Line of David: 24/1 (Clever.)
Stately Victor: 25/1
American Lion: 25/1
Discreetly Mine: 25/1
Dean’s Kitten: 40/1
Make Music For Me: 40/1
Backtalk: 40/1
Homeboykris: 40/1 (Rival gang member to Mission Impazible–this could get nasty on Saturday.)

There you have it! The contenders for the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby. Mix those Mint Juleps, and sport those wonderful hats. The forecast is calling for severe thunderstorms!
