Tempted To Tapit 2010 Kentucky Derby Betting Odds: Tempted to Tapit sounds like a name for an x-rated video but it’s actually the name of a 3-year-old Colt hoping to make it to the 2010 Kentucky Derby. Will he get the chance to run in the first leg of the Triple Crown? Go to BODOG.com to get all of the current betting odds on all of your Kentucky Derby favorites.
At 75 to 1 odds, owners of Tempted to Tapit – Gainesway Stable are one of the hopefuls to see their thoroughbred get a spot in this coveted race. Trained by Steve Klesaris and bred in Kentucky by Mike Sloan, let’s hope this Colt does better than his father – Tapit – who only had a total of four races with one 1st place finish all in 2004. However, his grandfather on his mom’s side is one to live up to. Editor’s Note had a total of 10 races in 1996 in which he finished 1st through 4th in most as well as two more 3rd and 4th place finishes in 1995.
"We had an outside post and it turned out the race was pretty fast," said trainer Steve Klesaris after Tempted to Tapit’s third-place finish in the Sunland Derby. "It doesn't look like we'll have enough graded earnings to get into the Kentucky Derby and I wouldn't want to go just for the sake of being in the race even if we could get in. There are plenty of nice races out there for 3-year-olds the rest of the year."
So what has Tempted to Tapit accomplished thus far? In November of 2009, he came in 2nd in the MSW out of Philadelphia Park with jockey Justin Shepherd and brought in 2010 on a good note with a 1st place win in the MSW out of the Aqueduct in New York with jockey David Cohen. The two most recent races were in February in the Risen Star-G2 out of Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans where he placed 2nd and placed 3rd in late March at the Sunland Derby-G3 in Sunland Park, NM both with jockey David Cohen.
