Coolmore Lexington Stakes 2012: Morgan's Guerrilla and Horses with Best Odds

The Coolmore Lexington Stakes is one of the best horse racing events before the Kentucky Derby in May, and with a very competitive field this year, the race will be quite exciting.

Morgan's Guerrilla is one of many horses looking to earn a spot in the Kentucky Derby in a few weeks' time, but to ensure that happens, Morgan's Guerrilla will need to either win the race or finish in the top three.

A poor performance has the potential to wreck any hope of trainers having their horses qualify for the Kentucky Derby field.

Castaway appears to be the favorite at the Coolmore Lexington Stakes, and the horse's endurance and stamina will certainly be put to the test at this race.

Spectacular trainer Bob Baffert has this horse ready for a dominating performance ahead of the Kentucky Derby, and it would be a great surprise if Castaway did not finish in the top two.

These are the two horses with the best chance to win the race and take home the $120,000 first-place purse.

Let's look at the horses with the best odds to win at the 2012 Coolmore Lexington Stakes:

Horse	Odds
Castaway	3-1
Morgan's Guerrilla	6-1
News Pending	5-1
Summer Front	9-2
Golden Ticket	6-1
