    Confidence Game profile: 2023 Kentucky Derby odds, post position, history and more to know about the Derby contender

    Get caught up with Confidence Game's past performances, jockey, trainer and full analysis heading into the Run for the Roses

    If Derby gods exist, and if storylines factor in at all in how they determine the winner of the Kentucky Derby, then Confidence Game is a 1-10 shot to don the blanket of roses on Saturday. His trainer, Keith Desormeaux, lost his father, Harris, on April 22 in Louisiana. The elder Desormeaux had a love for horse racing and in the 1970s founded the Acadiana Downs bush track where many Cajun jockeys got their start. Expect a river of tears if Confidence Game, who was a $25,000 purchase two years ago and is the cheapest horse in the field, reaches the winner's circle on Saturday.
