LEXINGTON, Ky. — On the road to the Kentucky Derby, it’s make-or-break time.
Saturday features three important prep races on the way to the first Saturday in May. There’s the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct in New York. There’s the Santa Anita Derby at Santa Anita Park just south of Los Angeles. And there’s the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland.
All three spread 170 points among the top four finishers, with 100 for first, 40 for second, 20 for third and 10 for fourth. All three are Grade I races.
