Double Derby Dozen April 2 2018 Derby Rankings
.
Tuesday, April 3. Kentucky Derby contenders are reranked again based on action last weekend. This week’s Double Derby Dozen top 25 contenders are ranked according to how I see it. Top 3 remain unchanged again.
.
Audible moves up a bit due to his predictable Florida Derby victory, and Mendelssohn makes a rare top 10 appearance for horses that haven’t raced in the US.
.
.
Next to each horse and trainer are where they finished last out, their next probable race, and what they need in that race (if anything) to get into the Kentucky Derby. The minimum points this year is estimated at 42.
