2010 Kentucky Derby Contenders

The Kentucky Derby is the most prestigious horse racing event of the year. It is to horse racing what the Super Bowl is to football or the Daytona 500 is to NASCAR: it’s the big one. While it’s nice to win any race, earn a nice payday for coming in first place and step on the highest part of the podium, there is a special esteem that comes with winning the run for the roses.

While there are tons of 2010 Kentucky Derby Contenders, only 20 horses can actually start in the race. Overall, there will be about 400+ 2010 Kentucky Derby contenders on the nominations list.

The top two-year-old from the previous season will always be among the favorites at the beginning of the year but as we all know, the races aren’t played out on paper. As the Kentucky Derby prep races are run, the list will change depending on the performances of all the various horses.
