Tough Break for Derby Favorites

Post positions have been drawn for the 2010 Kentucky Derby and the two favorites took the worst of it.

Lookin At Lucky will break from the dreaded rail post and has been installed as the 3-1 morning line favorite. The Bob Baffert trainee is exiting a troubled 3rd in the Santa Anita Derby and must work out a trip once again under Garrett Gomez.

Santa Anita Derby winner Sidney’s Candy will break from post 20 and is the 5-1 second choice on the line. Big Brown won the 2008 Kentucky Derby from this post.
