Kentucky Derby 2012 Start Time: Where to Watch 138th Run for the Roses

The details are in place, the odds have been set and the post positions have been announced. On Saturday, May 5, the 138th Kentucky Derby will take place.

Bodemeister (4-1) and Union Rags (9-2) have been installed as favorites to win, but there are other formidable contenders.

Hansen comes in at 10-1, but he has a ton of pure speed. He also drew the 15th spot in post positions. This could make him a major player in the race.

Dullahan is another possible threat. He has shown the ability to kick it in to another gear as a closer. If he is in the running as the race comes to a close, he may have the juice to pull off the minor upset at 8-1 odds.

We will have to wait to see which horses deliver their best performances when the spotlight shines brightest. Here are the particulars on how you can follow the action live:
