With that last two major prep races in the books, the field for the 2013 Kentucky Derby is fairly well defined. There are still two Derby preps left on the calendar -- the Lexington and the Derby Trial -- both of which are worth 20-8-4-2 points to the top four finishers. As you can see from the chart below, several horses will have some incentive to try and pick up a few more points in order to get into the top 20.

Right now, 30 points gets a horse into the Derby, while the pack of horses at 20 points will be fighting it out over the last three weeks.

Below are the current standings after today's Derby prep races. These standings (as of now) do not break ties by the use of graded earning):
