Tomorrow is the Kentucky Derby, and if you’re like us and don’t know much about horse racing or odds, you’ll probably placed your bets according to which horse is the cutest. Well, this year, as you watch the 135th Derby with mint julep in hand, try a different tactic: Base your bets on the jockeys. We studied this year’s field and narrowed the contenders down to six. They’re at the top of their field, they make decent money, and you don’t have to worry about them developing a beer belly. Meet the most eligible jockeys of this year’s Kentucky Derby.
