Kentucky Derby Points Standings [2022]

The lead up to the Kentucky Derby consists of several races throughout the season that award points to the Top 4 finishers in each race. The top 20 point earners will earn a spot in the starting gate for the 148th running of the first leg of the Triple Crown on Saturday, May 7th, 2022 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. We will update this page every weekend and you can see our predictions for every race on our Free Horse Picks page.
