The Top Ten Contenders for the 2007 Kentucky Derby
Even though a favorite has been determined, this should be a very
exciting 133rd Run for the Roses. The odds will undoubtedly change
as we draw closer to Post Time of 6pm est on Saturday.
Horse Handicappers and Horse Racing fans from all parts of the globe
will be jockeying for position as to who predicted the winner and who
claimed the largest purse.
This is one Horse Race where everyone truly has a Favorite Horse
in the Race.
Per the weather forecast for Saturday, rain is possible, which could
be a very important factor with a tightly bunched field. If that is the
