The Derby 20 Presented by NYRA Bets: Several Disappointing Performances Lead To Changes

Following the weekend's Travers and Ellis Park Derby, the top four remain unchanged on this week's The Derby 20. Tiz the Law was beyond impressive and easily maintains the top spot, while Art Collector did just enough to keep his position in third.

However, several 3-year-olds previously tagged as major contenders were disappointing on Saturday and Sunday and have since dropped out of Kentucky Derby contention. Uncle Chuck and Country Grammer will both seek other spots, as will Shivaree.

At Ellis Park, a trio of potential candidates finished poorly, including Indiana Derby winner Shared Sense (5th), Ohio Derby winner Dean Martini (6th), and Breeders' Cup Juvenile runner-up Anneau d'Or (8th). Dean Martini and Anneau d'Or will go elsewhere, but Shared Sense remains in contention for now.

Caracaro made the biggest jump up this week with his second-place finish in the Travers, and he seems to have a lot of potential upside moving forward into the Kentucky Derby.

There are several contenders remaining on this list who will require defections from the top 20 point-earners to make the main body of the Derby field. Those are expected to occur, including, at the very least, the filly Swiss Skydiver, who is expected to run in the Kentucky Oaks.
