Derby field taking shape

TRINITY, Fla. – The last of the major prep races for the 149th Kentucky Derby have been run with Lord Miles blowing up the Wood Memorial at 57-1, Tapit Trice winning the Blue Grass and Practical Move taking the Santa Anita Derby.

Each winner picked up 100 points and earned a spot in the starting gate on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs in Louisville.

Here are the top 20 colts as of now barring any defections. The Lexington on April 15 Keeneland offers 20 points to the winner, but it is highly unlikely any colt coming out of that race would make the Derby field.

Forte (sire: Violence) 190 points. Trainer: Todd Pletcher.

Practical Move (Practical Joke) 160. Tim Yakteen.

Angel of Empire (Classic Empire) 154. Brad Cox.

Tapit Trice (Tapit) 150. Todd Pletcher.

Two Phils (Hard Spun) 123. Larry Rivelli.

Derma Sotogake (Mine Your Biscuits) 100. Otonashi Hidetaka.

Kingsbarns (Uncle Mo) 100. Todd Pletcher.

Raise Cain (Violence) 64. Ben Colebrook

Rocket Can (Into Mischief) 60. Bill Mott.

Confidence Game (Candy Ride) 57. Keith Desormeaux.

Verifying (Justify) 54. Brad Cox.

Sun Thunder (Into Mischief) 54. Ken McPeek.

Wild on Ice (Tapizar) 50. Joel Marr.

Mage (Good Magic) 50. Gustavo Delgado.

Blazing Sevens (Good Magic) 46. Chad Brown.

Reincarnate (Good Magic) 45. Tim Yakteen.

Jace’s Road (Quality Road) 45. Brad Cox.

Cyclone Mischief (Into Mischief) 45. Dale Romans.

Continuar (Drefong, a son of Gio Ponti) leads the Japanese Road to the Derby list. Yahagi Yoshito.
