The Kentucky Derby Field for Saturday, 3 May

There will be 20 colts running in Saturday's 140th Kentucky Derby, unless someone becomes ill, or is injured.  The race covers one and one-quarter miles on the main (dirt) track at Churchill Downs, outside of Louisville, Kentucky, and the purse is worth $2 million.  Starting time is estimated at 6:24 P. m. (EDT).  A few odd bits of information:
 Commanding Curve is a ridgling.
 Four colts are chestnut, sixteen are bay.
 Starlight Racing, owner of Intense Holiday, joined up with Skychai Racing, owner of Harry's Holiday, and together purchased General a Rod last week.
 13 colts were bred in Kentucky, 2 in Florida, 2 in New York, 1 in California, 1 in Louisiana, and 1 in Ontario, Canada.
 There are 5 grade 1 race winners, 6 Grade 2 winners, 4 Grade 3 winners, 1 Black Type winner, 1 Listed winner, and 1 colt each placed in a Grade 1, Grade 2, and a Grade 3 race.
 Twelve of the 20 colts entered have bloodlines that trace back to *Forli, the sire of our stallion of choice at Sleepy Hollow Horse Farm in Micanopy.
 California Chrome is the morning line betting favorite - he is a flashy chestnut with a blaze and four white stockings.  He has run in three races in his career, and has won all three by a (combined) total of 18 lengths.

 Following is the listing of entries for the Kentucky Derby; listed first by Post Position, then by name, then the name of the jockey, morning betting line odds, and, if the colt is related to *Forli, there will be an "*" between the Jockey's name and the odds (odds were set by Mike Battaglia of Churchill Downs):
