Analyzing the Top 2010 Kentucky Derby Contenders

My annual analysis of the top contenders to try and select a winner by matching each to the profile of a Kentucky Derby winner using many of the more popular angles and statistical trends. With Eskendereya out, the remaining horses are so evenly matched that there are many ties this year, including a 4-way tie for the top spot. This is definitely a year when anyone could win! To the left is Gotham winner Awesome Act, one of the four tied for most points.
