The opening lines for the 2012 Kentucky Derby have been announced with little in the way of surprises. It's a tight race for the favorite, as Bodemeister (4-1) holds a very slim lead over Union Rags (9-2) for the status of favorite. Keep in mind, these lines will fluctuate once bets start pouring in. Either horse, as well as Dullahan (8-1) or Gemologist (6-1) has a chance to go off as the favorite come Saturday afternoon.
