Everything you wanted to know about the 2010 Derby (but were afraid to ask)

As a service to all the fair weather horse racing fans out there (myself included), I have compiled a mercifully short break down of the 2010 Kentucky Derby field.
Sorted on the only categories most of us understand, here a few of this year’s contenders:

The Favorite
Looking at Lucky
Trained by Bob Baffert, this colt has won 6 of his 9 career starts and has never finished out of the money.

The Filly
Devil May Care
One of trainer Todd Pletcher’s 6 entries, she is considered a serious contender by those in the know. She has won 3 of her 5 starts and finished 5th and 11th in the other 2.

The Mudder
Nobel’s Promise
He has run in ‘Sloppy’ conditions 5 times and won twice. Veteran jockey Robby Albarado can only help his chances.

The Long Shot
HomeBoyKris
At 60-1 he may have the best name and worst qualifications in the field.

The Trendy Picks
Sidney’s Candy, Ice Box, Dublin

The Best Names
Mission Impazible, Paddy O’Prado, Stately Victor
