The road to the 2021 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve stops at picturesque Keeneland Race Course Saturday for the $800,000, Grade 2 Toyota Blue Grass Stakes.

The final stop on the New York Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is the $750,000 Wood Memorial Stakes Presented by Resorts World Casino this Saturday at Aqueduct.

Three of the last nine Santa Anita Derby winners went on to win the Kentucky Derby four weeks later, and though the years it has been one of the most important stops on the Triple Crown trail. Justify in 2018 won Santa Anita Park’s signature Derby prep race on his way to a sweep of the Triple Crown.

Making the Grade, which will run through the 2021 Triple Crown races, focuses on the winners or top performers of the key races, usually from the previous weekend, who could make an impact on the Triple Crown. We’ll be taking a close look at impressive winners and evaluating their chances to win classic races based upon ability, running style, connections (owner, trainer, jockey), and pedigree.

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 2021 top 3-year-old rankings below.
