2010 Kentucky Derby Picks: Stately Victor 20 to 1 Derby Odds: Louisville resident F. Thomas Conway will watch his horse, Stately Victor, participate in the 136th Run for the Roses tomorrow at the legendary Churchill Downs. The colt is listed at 20 to 1 Derby Odds in online racebook Sportsbook.com's 2010 Kentucky Derby Picks.
Stately Victor has not generated much fanfare coming into tomorrow's Kentucky Derby, but the bay colt did win the 1 1/8 
mile Grade 1 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes in his final prep race. Victor bested Derby entrants Paddy O'Prado and Make Music for Me in the win as well as Interactif, which would have been in the Derby if not for an injury.
Stately Victor's pedigree is certainly notable as he came out of Collect the Cash, a Grade 1 stakes winner, and was sired by the great Ghostzapper. Ghostzapper, winner of the 2004 Breeders' Cup Classic, won nine of his 11 career races.
Victor's trainer, Mike Maker, who has never had a Derby horse under his tuteledge, was not thrilled with the horse's gate six draw.
"It's not terrible. It wouldn't have been my first choice," Maker said. "The main reason I wanted to be outside was just to try to stay out of trouble. Let him get in a rhythm and then get to freewheelin'."
Twenty-four year old Peruvian jockey Alan Garcia will be aboard Stately Victor for tomorrow's race. Garcia had his first Derby mount last year when he rode Regal Ransom to an eighth place finish at Churchill Downs. The Lima native's most prominent victory came at Belmont in 2008 atop Da'Tara.
