The lead up to the Kentucky Derby consists of 35 races that award points to the Top 4 finishers in each race. The top 19 or 20 point earners will earn a spot in the starting gate for the 146th running of the first leg of the Triple Crown on Saturday, September 5th, 2020 at Churchill Downs. One invitation will be extended to the top point earners in the Europe Road to the Kentucky Derby and one invitation will be extended to the top point earners in the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby. The field has been limited to 20 starters since 1975 and at least 20 horses have entered the 1 1/4 mile race for 3-year-olds every year since 2004, and 19 of the last 21 years. We will update this page every weekend and you can see our predictions for every race on our Free Horse Picks page.
