Lookin At Lucky morning line Kentucky Derby favorite

Time does indeed fly, and it is almost hard to believe that the first Saturday in May is already upon us and that means one thing to sports fans: the Kentucky Derby. The “most exciting two minutes in sports” will take place this Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, and the post position draws have taken place. The Bob Baffert trained colt Lookin’ At Luck has been installed as the early favorite at 3-1, but he has drawn the #1 post position. In a 20 horse field, the inside post is not considered to be a good one, but one of the horse’s owners, Mike Pegram, expressed confidence in his charge and its rider, Garret Gomez.

“If there’s a horse that can overcome that spot, it’s Lucky. I don’t want to sound overconfident, but we got the best jockey in the country and he knows what his responsibilities are,” said Pergram.

Here is the field for the 2010 Kentucky Derby in post position order along with the morning line odds.
