For the purposes of these rankings, we ranked the top 20 as only horses that are currently considered IN the Kentucky Derby field by having top 20 in points earned or otherwise qualifying. Combatant could still get in and would be ranked better if he were.
.
I’m sure most rankings have Magnum Moon at the top since he’s the latest big stakes winner, and remained undefeated in only 4 career races. However, he’s been the benefactor of a marginal pace in each of those, including the Arkansas where he set that pace himself.

Good Magic (Curlin) won the Bluegrass Stakes (G2) at Keeneland on 4.7.2018. Jose Ortiz up, Chad Brown trainer

Remember, these are not sheeple rankings, or Derby point rankings, which are on a different page. This is how they would be ranked by a professional handicapper, because they were. Detailed Derby prep results are on this page.
