145th running of the Kentucky Derby

Break out the mint juleps, tell your woman to put on a silly hat, and get ready for the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby from beautiful soaking wet Churchill Downs in Louisville Kentucky.

Currently Tacitus and Improbable have met up at 5-1 to be tied for the favourite this year, with strong contender Omaha Beach already being scratched. And since I'm sitting at home with mint juleps in a proper silver cup instead of somewhere I can gamble, I provide my (mostly) seat of the pants predictions for the main event.

Win: War of Will (17-1)
Place: Vekoma (21-1)
Show: Tacitus (5-1)
