Odds: 10-1 Post position: 11 Jockey: Kent Desormeaux
Wins the honor as the most talked-about "wiseguy'' horse in the field. Under trainer Michael Trombetta, 39, making his first Derby start, Sweetnorthernsaint's dominant 91/2-length victory in the Illinois Derby four weeks ago was one of the most impressive Derby preps. Sweet is the only gelding in the Derby field; original trainer Leo Azpurua, Sr. decided to cut him after he ran wild prior to this career first start last August at Colonial Downs in Virginia.
