2012 Kentucky Derby: Post Position, Horse, Jockey And Trainer Profiles

The 2012 Kentucky Derby will be run this weekend and now that the post positions have been set for the field, the clear favorite is Bodemeister to win at 4-1 odds with Union Rags a close second choice at 9-2 odds, Gemologist is third at 6-1 odds and Dullahan rounds out the top four at 8-1 odds.

But what do we know about these horses?

Reuters.com has complete profiles of every horse in the field which includes post position, the horse itself, the jockey and the trainer. Here's the profile on Hansen and I'll Have Another:

14. HANSEN; Ramon Dominguez; Mike Maker; Was named last season's best two year old after capping an unbeaten three-run campaign by winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. A rare all-white colt, he won just one of his three starts this season and was a close second in the other two.

19. I'LL HAVE ANOTHER; Mario Gutierrez; Doug O'Neill; Won debut as a juvenile but did not win again until this season, where he is unbeaten in two starts. At his last run, he won the Santa Anita Derby after tracking three wide.

The race is set for Saturday at 5 ET, although there is a bevy of TV coverage before and after the actual race.
