What are the Kentucky Derby Prep Races?
The Kentucky Derby Prep Races, also known as the "Road to the Kentucky Derby," are a series of races leading up to the Kentucky Derby, one of the most prestigious events in horse racing.
These prep races allow thoroughbreds to earn qualifying points that determine the 20 horses who will compete in the Kentucky Derby. The series includes races across the United States and other parts of the world, giving horses the opportunity to showcase their talent and secure a spot in the Derby.
Each race in the series awards points based on finishing position, with the higher-stakes races closer to the Derby awarding more points. This points system ensures that the best-performing horses earn their place at Churchill Downs, making these prep races critical for both horse owners and online horse betting enthusiasts.
