Kentucky Derby Point Standings [2024]

The “Kentucky Derby Prep Season” is here and the action heats up with each series being worth more points as we approach the Kentucky Derby. The series runs from the Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs in mid-September through the John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway Park in early March. The 20 horses with the most points will earn a spot in the starting gate on the first Saturday in May. We will update this page after every weekend. In the meantime, check out all of our other Free Horse Picks.
