Who Will Wear The Roses?

This year's Derby looms as one of the most wide-open in history. Here are SI horse racing writer Tim Layden's picks with his odds.

TAPIT
(9-2) He was only half fit when he won the Wood Memorial on April 10 (left).

SMARTY JONES
(5-1) It's hard to knock a horse who's never lost a race.

THE CLIFF'S EDGE
(6-1) Trainer Nick Zito's third-stringer ran huge in the Blue Grass.

OTHERS TO WATCH: Imperialism, who'll be moving up at the end; Read the Footnotes, fresh off a seven-week break; Wimbledon, Bob Baffert's Louisiana Derby winner.
