Final Kentucky Derby 2018 points: Who's in the field?

The four-length Grade 1 Arkansas Derby winner is 4-for-4 but up against the "curse of Apollo." Not since 1882 has a horse that didn't race at age 2 won the Derby.

Backed up a breakout win in the Grade 2 Holy Bull by coming from behind to win the Florida Derby. Pletcher’s best contender?

He re-rallied in the long Fair Grounds stretch to narrowly win the Grade 2 Louisiana Derby last out.

After a baffling fourth in the Tampa Bay Derby, he kept blinkers on and delivered a win in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial.

The multiple Grade 1 winner has hit the wire second in both his races this year — but did so against the best of the best.

His best effort this year came around one turn, in the Grade 3 Gotham. He was second last out after bumping in the stretch of the Grade 2 Wood Memorial.

The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner gives European connections a legit shot. He prepped with an 18 1/2-length score in the Group 2 UAE Derby. Ryan Moore could keep the mount.

The likely Derby favorite has run just three races, but won each convincingly, including a front-running Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby. Another up against the "curse of Apollo."

He handled an extra ship well, going in the Arkansas Derby rather than Blue Grass Stakes, and pressed Magnum Moon into the turn. Also the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby winner.

He shows up every time and has excelled at various distances, and on all surfaces. Blue Grass Stakes runner-up could get a piece in the Derby.

He's unlucky to not have a graded stakes victory to this point. Representing Baffert's second string, he's a quirky sort that should improve with age.

The Grade 2 Risen Star winner took that race with a friendly pace scenario. He followed with a puzzling eighth in the Louisiana Derby.

He had to win the Grade 3 Lexington, an extra prep after a close third in the Louisiana Derby, and did so by a head. He'll be looking to close at Churchill.

The front-running Grade 2 Fountain of Youth winner ran last in the Florida Derby after chasing suicidal early fractions. He’ll be a longshot on May 5.

A Grade 1 winner at 2, he has Albaugh Family Stable in a third straight Derby. Perhaps a tick slower than the best here, he’ll be looking to close.

Connections appear to have figured out his late-running style. He nearly struck in the Louisiana Derby. Just one win, but has consistently run in stakes company.

The Florida Derby runner-up is lightly raced, with just three starts, but has a Hall of Fame conditioner and regal breeding. He’ll be a “wise guy” Derby longshot.

He's run in each of New York's stops on the Derby trail, last winning one back in January. A consistent runner, but he hasn't shown to be a true contender.

The European trail’s qualifier will take money given the name, but he prepped with a win on synthetic going a straight mile. If you’re betting him, good luck.
