Here are the best odds I could find today. Unless otherwise indicated, the best odds were at TheGreek.com.
I Want Revenge ** 5 (Bookmaker.com)
Dunkirk ** 6.25
Quality Road ** 6.25
Friesan Fire ** 8.25
Pioneer of the Nile ** 8.25
Papa Clem ** 15.25
Chocolate Candy ** 18.15
Desert Party ** 24 (Bookmaker.com)
Musket Man ** 28.5
Square Eddie ** 33 (Bookmaker.com)
Hold Me Back ** 35.5
General Quarters ** 38.5
Regal Ransom ** 40.5
West Side Bernie ** 51 (Bookmaker.com)
Flying Private ** 85 (Bodog)
Giant Oak ** 52.5
Mine That Bird ** 65.5
Charitable Man ** 85.5
If these horses were the only ones that could possibly make it to the Derby, the combined odds would represent a 3.3% takeout. So the actual takeout depends on what value you put on "all others" at this point.
As of Apr 12, Wynn's futures had QR at 7-1 and Flying Private at 100-1. (Other Wynn futures were inferior to the list above.)

PS--I don't know why those asterisks showed up with the names. They aren't in my EXCEL table.

Reason: missed the 51-1 on West Side Bernie
