all in Triple Crown

Big race days are a fantastic opportunity for bettors because full fields of talented horses mean plenty of value to be found, and there is no bigger race day on the horse racing calendar than Kentucky Derby day.

The Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is a unique challenge for 3-year-old Thoroughbred racehorses. Not only are talent, speed, and stamina tested as these racehorses navigate 1 ¼ miles for the first time, but the competitors must process far more information than ever before in a 20-horse field in front of 150,000 screaming fans. Winning the first jewel of the Triple Crown takes both elite athletic ability and a strong mind.

Each week, members of the media around the country vote on the nation's top contenders on the Triple Crown trail in the NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll.

The poll will run weekly through June 5. Find out the latest 2022 top 3-year-old rankings below.
