Kentucky Derby Field Narrows as Post Position Draw Nears

The field for the 2007 Kentucky Derby narrowed as Reporting for Duty and Delighful Kiss were excluded. Only 20 post positions are available for the race on Saturday, and final selections for the field are based on graded stakes earnings.

Reporting for Duty, who was a long shot with odds of 100/1, was 21st on the earnings list, and Delightful Kiss 23rd.

The last minute decision to pull Cobalt Blue by trainer Doug O'Neil, and the withdrawal of Federico Stakes winner Xchanger allowed Teuflesberg and Imawildandcrazyguy to enter the field.

The official post position draw will take place today at 5:00 PM ET, and will be televised live on ESPN2. The current Kentucky Derby field, in order of draw for post positions, is as follows:

Storm in May, Teuflesberg, Hard Spun, Liquidity, Bwana Bull, Street Sense, Cowtown Cat, Scat Daddy, Imawildandcrazyguy, Zanjero, Tiago, Circular Quay, Sam P., Nobiz Like Shobiz, Stormello, Curlin, Sedgefield, Any Given Saturday, Great Hunter, Dominican.
