LEXINGTON, Ky. — The full field, with post positions, is now known for a historic running of one of the most important Kentucky Derby prep races.
At 5:52 p.m. Saturday, the 100th running of the Grade 1, $1 million Toyota Blue Grass Stakes will be held at Keeneland.
A field of 11 horses will go 1 1/8 miles on the Keeneland dirt, with plenty of Kentucky Derby qualifying points up for grabs — the top five finishers will earn points on a 100-50-25-15-10 scale.
Kentucky Derby 150 — to be run May 4 at Churchill Downs in Louisville — will feature the top 20 points earners and invitees.
Here are the results of Tuesday’s post position draw for the Blue Grass Stakes, along with the trainer, jockey, morning line odds and other information for each of the 11 runners in the field.
