ROAD TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY SUMMARY

 

The Races


The Kentucky Derby Prep Season includes races on dirt, for the most part going two turns, over distances of at least one mile that are run between September and mid-February. These races traditionally serve as foundation-building races in advance of the Kentucky Derby Championship Series. From the 2013 Kentucky Derby through the 2022 Derby, points for theses races were awarded to the top four finishers on a 10-4-2-1 scale, except that the Breeders' Cup Juvenile yielded twice as many points in each place.


Beginning with the 2023 Kentucky Derby, points for the early races in the Prep Season were awarded on a scale of 10-4-3-2-1 for the top five finishers, and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile was worth three times as many points in each place. Beginning with the Lecomte Stakes, points were scaled at 20-8-6-4-2 except for the El Camino Real Derby, which awarded 10-4-3-2-1 points.


Another change was made for the 2024 Kentucky Derby (the 150th running) with early Prep Season races points scaled at 10-5-3-2-1; the Juvenile continued awarding continuing three times as many points in each place; and beginning with the Lecomte points are scaled at 20-10-6-4-2. With the closing of Golden Gate Fields viewed as imminent, the El Camino Real Derby was dropped from the schedule.


The Kentucky Derby Championship Series is a series of races on dirt going two turns over distances of at least 1 1/16 mile (except for the Gotham Stakes at one mile) held during a two-month run-up to the first Saturday in May. From the 2013 Kentucky Derby through the 2022 Derby, the initial races in this series had a 50-20-10-5 point scale to the top four finishers and served as steppingstones to the major Kentucky Derby launching pads worth 100-40-20-10 points each. An exception was the Lexington Stakes, which carried 20-8-4-2 points.


Beginning with the 2023 Kentucky Derby, points for the early races in the Derby Championship Season were awarded on a scale of 50-20-15-10-5 to the top five finishers. The major Derby preps were worth 100-40-30-20-10 points, and the series ends with the last-call Lexington Stakes worth 20-8-6-4-2 points.


Consistent with changes to the Prep Season point scale, starting with the 2024 Kentucky Derby the top five finishers are awarded points on a scale of 50-25-15-10-5 in the early Derby Championship Season, and the more important races are rated at 100-50-30-20-10. The Lexington is now worth 20-10-6-4-2.

 

The Japan Road to the Derby and the European Road to the Derby are series unto themselves, each of them separate from the traditional points system. Each of those series can yield only one entry apiece in the Run for the Roses. The horse with the most points is first eligible. If that horse isn't entered, the horse with the second-highest points total may be entered, and so on down to the horse with the fourth-highest points total, after which no horse is eligible for an automatic berth in the Kentucky Derby starting gate.

 

In 2020, additional races were added because the covid-19 pandemic led to a postponement of the Kentucky Derby from May 2 to Sept. 5. Starting with the 2021 Derby, the schedule returned to normal.

 

Entries

 

Up to 24 horses may be entered in the Kentucky Derby, with 20 qualifying for the starting gate. Up to four horses will be listed as “also eligible” and ranked in order. They are eligible to draw into the field with scratches from the top 20.


If two or more horses have the same number of points, the tiebreaker to get into the Kentucky Derby or Kentucky Oaks is earnings in non-restricted stakes races, whether they are graded or not. The next tiebreaker is a hat shake.


In the event of a dead-heat in a Road to the Kentucky Derby race, those horses will divide equally the points they would have received jointly had one beaten the other.

The Kentucky Derby Points System History


Starting in 2013, 3-year-old horses first became eligible to make the Kentucky Derby starting gate using a points system. Before that, priority was given to horses with the most graded stakes earnings.


Once early nominations to the Triple Crown are released, usually in late January, horses not nominated do not appear on the leaderboard for Kentucky Derby qualifying points. After the deadline for late nominations to the Triple Crown expires, usually in late March, horses with potential points made eligible at that time are awarded said points retroactively, just as graded stakes earnings were in the previous eligibility system. Starting in 2014, horses not nominated to the Triple Crown, but supplemented instead, gained the same footing as nominees. In other words, if such a horse has sufficient points, said horse makes the Kentucky Derby field. Previously, nominated horses had preference over supplemented horses.


In 2023, Mandarin Hero finished 12th and King Russell finished 15th with 40 qualifying points each, the lowest total among the 18 starters.


In 2022, the Derby starter with the lowest point total was also-eligible Rich Strike, with 21 points. He won the Kentucky Derby at 80-1 odds.


In 2021, Brooklyn Strong entered the Derby with 10 points, a much lower total than normal. He ran 15th at odds of 43-1.


In 2020, Necker Island had the lowest point total among the starters with 14, but only 15 ran after an elongated road to the Kentucky Derby ending in September resulted in much attrition among the 3-year-old crop. He finished ninth, beaten 14 3/4 lengths, at 49-1 odds.


In 2019, Bodexpress finished 14th after making the field last with 40 points.Outshine also had 40 points, but he ranked ahead of Bodexpress with more non-restricted stakes earnings.


In 2018, Instilled Regard had the fewest points in the field with 29, and he finished fourth.


In 2017, the last horse in was the maiden Sonneteer, who had 30 points. He finished 16th.


In 2016, Mo Tom had the fewest Derby points with 32. He finished eighth.


In 2015, Frammento was the last horse to get into the Derby, and he had 20 points. He finished 11th.


In 2014, Vinceremos, Harry's Holiday and Commanding Curve each had the lowest point total with 20. Commanding Curve was the last of the three to make the field due to the tiebreaker rule, earnings in non-restricted stakes races. Commanding Curve blew up the tote board with a second-place finish. Harry's Holiday finished 16th, and Vinceremos finished 17th.


In 2013, the first year of the Derby points system, the last horse to make the Kentucky Derby field was Giant Finish with 10 points. He outran his rank to finish 10th, beaten 13 1/4 lengths.


In 2012, the horse with the lowest amount of graded earnings in the Kentucky Derby was Optimizer with $184,708. In 2011, it was Derby Kitten, with $120,000. In 2010, it was Make Music for Me, with $218,750. In 2009, Nowhere to Hide had $55,500; in 2008, Denis of Cork had $165,000, and in 2007, Imawildandcrazyguy had $104,000.


Other Rules According to Churchill Downs


Up to 24 horses may enter the Kentucky Derby, with 20 qualifying for the starting gate. Up to four horses will be listed as “also eligible” and ranked in order. They could draw into the field with scratches from the top 20.


If two or more horses have the same number of points, which can often be the case whenever a point system is introduced, the tiebreaker to get into the Kentucky Derby or Kentucky Oaks will be earnings in non-restricted stakes races, whether they are graded or not. It the tiebreaker is tied, the backup tiebreaker is a hat shake.


FILLIES – Fillies may run in the Kentucky Derby, but they have to earn their way into the field by accumulating points against open company just like the rest of the colts and geldings -- and be nominated to the Triple Crown or supplemented. Additionally, any points earned by a filly in the “Road to the Kentucky Derby” series against open company will be credited to her point total in the “Road to the Kentucky Oaks” series.

 

DEAD HEATS – In the event of a dead heat in a “Road to the Kentucky Derby” race, those horses will divide equally the points they would have received jointly had one beaten the other.

 

SPLIT DIVISIONS – In the event a “Road to the Kentucky Derby” race is split into divisions and each division awards its originally published purse money, points will be awarded as scheduled for each division. If the originally published purse is halved for each division, points will be halved as well. If the purse is affected in some other manner, Churchill Downs has the discretion to make a decision before the races are run to award points as it sees fit.
