'This is serious sh-t'
At age 50, and after seven years away from racing, one of the greatest jockeys ever goes for a fourth Kentucky Derby win. Goldencents has apparently benefited from the large amount of publicity Krigger has gotten for trying to be the first black jockey to win the Kentucky Derby in a century.
The storm that has slammed parts of the Midwest with heavy precipitation is predicted to hit Churchill Downs just before the Derby, so expect these odds to be in constant flux as more information comes out about the track conditions. Here are the complete odds (KentuckyDerby.com has live-updating odds):
