15. OUTTA HERE (50-1); Post: No. 15. Owners: Al Eisman and Bill Currin. Trainer: Bill Currin. Jockey: Kent Desormeaux. Sire: Dehere. Dam: Just Out. Record: 8-2-2-2. Earnings: $504,260. Comment: Another longshot, his claim to fame was winning the $500,000 Delta Jackpot last Dec. 21 at Delta Downs in Louisiana.... Purchased for $37,000 in September, 2001, at Keeneland, he was fourth in the United Arab Emirates Derby in Dubai in his last race March 29.... First Derby runner for Currin.... Desormeaux has won two Derbies, with Real Quiet in 1998 and Fusaichi Pegasus in 2000.

16. TEN MOST WANTED (6-1); Post: No. 16. Owners: Horizon Stable, Michael Jarvis, et al. Trainer: Wally Dollase. Jockey: Pat Day. Sire: Deputy Commander. Dam: Wanted Again. Record: 5-2-1-1. Earnings: $373,460. Comment: Rose to prominence after his easy victory -- against a suspect field -- in the Illinois Derby at Hawthorne last month.... War Emblem won the same race last year before his Derby shocker.... A $145,000 purchase as a 2-year-old, he could be second choice in the betting today and seems to be peaking at the right time.... Dollase's other Derby starters have been Alyrob, who finished eighth in 1996 and Momentus, who finished 14th in 1987.

17. SCRIMSHAW (15-1); Post: No. 17. Owners: Bob and Beverly Lewis. Trainer: Wayne Lukas. Jockey: Cornelio Velasquez. Sire: Gulch. Dam: Rogue Girl. Record: 5-3-0-1. Earnings: $308,879. Comment: Hopes to complete the same Lexington-Derby parlay Charismatic did for the Lewises and Lukas in 1999.... Underwent an operation after his distant fourth in the Hutcheson on Feb. 15 at Gulfstream Park to correct a breathing problem. The procedure obviously did some good given his performance in the Lexington.... Velasquez, a top rider in Florida, was a surprise choice for the Derby and this will be his first mount in the race.... Lukas has won the Derby four times and has had at least one starter in 22 of the last 23 years.
