2022 Kentucky Derby Points
.
The 2022 Kentucky Derby Championship Series Points were earned in Derby preps from September 18, 2021 at Churchill Downs, and ended April 16, 2022 with the Lexington Stakes at Keeneland.
..
Point standings are final, with those still under consideration making the list. Earnings shown are for non-restricted stakes only. In 100% of prior years, several in the final top 20 do not actually run for the roses, so a few horses with less than 30 points will likely race. We know Lukas wants in.
