The winner and runner-up from Saturday’s Grade 3 Lecomte joined the top 10 in the points standings for Kentucky Derby 2025.
Disco Time brought his record to 3-for-3 with his win by a neck over Built over the muddy Fair Grounds track to earn 20 points and move into third place. Built, who already had earned 10 points for his win in the Gun Runner, picked up another 10 to move into fourth place.
The third-, fourth- and fifth-place finishers got their first qualifying points. Innovator earned 6 points, good for 18th place. Golden Afternoon is in 28th place with 4 points, and Maximus Promise earned 2 points, putting him at no. 44.
One points prep is on the calendar for this weekend. The Southwest (G3) at Oaklawn drew a field of 10, with Gaming, fifth on the leaderboard, drawing the rail.
The following weekend brings four preps, the Holy Bull (G3) at Gulfstream, the Robert B. Lewis (G3) at Santa Anita and the Withers (G3) at Aqueduct. All three, along with the Southwest, offer 20-10-6-4-2 points to the top five finishers.
