ExploreMaster - Kentucky Derby Top 10 Contenders

Kentucky Derby Top 10 Contenders

A year ago today, Justify was three weeks away from running his first race; he appeared on no one’s Kentucky Derby lists; he had earned no Kentucky Derby points. Good Magic topped the list at this early stage, followed by Firenze Fire, later to find his niche at shorter distances then the Derby’s 10 furlongs. McKinzie was the buzz horse; he was injured and never ran in the Derby.

This list will look different on Sunday, but for now, here’s your Derby Top 10, according to the points they’ve earned.
