The Derby 20 Presented By NYRA Bets: Decisions, Decisions by Chelsea Hackbarth|08.24.202008.24.2020|5:25pm9:01pm Shirl’s Speight easily wins the G3 Marine Stakes on July 25, convincing trainer Roger Attfield to point the lightly-raced colt to the Kentucky Derby Less than two weeks from the 2020 Kentucky Derby, and while we've learned that fans won't be in the stands, connections have been working hard to finalize their plans for this year's contenders. The list of 20 contenders below appears to be the total number of expected entrants for the Run for the Roses, and includes, for the first time since the introduction of the Derby points system in 2013, a horse with no points at all. That's Shirl's Speight, a Charles Fipke homebred undefeated in two starts in Canada for trainer Roger Attfield. He's a talented colt by Speightstown and gets Corey Lanerie in the saddle, bringing a little more intrigue to this year of the unexpected. The only jockey left to be decided is that of Rushie, the Michael McCarthy trainee expected to ship to Louisville from California on Tuesday. Updates to this list will be made as contenders go through their final workouts over the next week, potentially moving a few horses up or down for the final Paulick Report rankings.

It's hard to bet against Tiz the Law, a colt whose running style makes him hard to beat. The Travers was impressive, and that 109 Beyer is miles above what any other 3-year-old has done this year. All that considered, his one race at Churchill Downs was a bit of a flop, and Tiz the Law seems to need to be kept in the clear on the outside to do his best running. If we get anything near a full gate of 20 horses, that could pose a problem, especially if he draws near the inside. The colt also hasn't been seriously tested this year, so it remains to be seen if he'll have the heart to win a battle to the wire. Of course, he may not need it; Tiz the Law hasn't been tested because no other horse has been able to run with him.Read MoreTagg Calls Tiz The Law's Penultimate Derby Work 'Perfect'Kentucky Derby Notes: King Guillermo's Fast Work, Tiz The Law's One-Day Delay, Arrival PlansTiz The Law Ascends To Top Of Breeders' Cup Classic RankingsTagg: Tiz The Law 'Did Everything A Good Horse Ought To Do'Tiz The Law Solidifies Kentucky Derby Favoritism With Overpowering Victory In Runhappy Travers Stakes'The Pinnacle Of What We Hope For': Tiz The Law A 'Star Pupil' On And Off The TrackBelmont Winner Tiz The Law To Stand At Ashford Stud Upon RetirementMore hereHonor A.

The loss in the Shared Belief shouldn't affect him long-term; it was an oddly-run race and the distance was a bit short for Honor A. P. to show his best. That said, Shirreffs can be sure to have Honor A. P. ready to give his best effort next out, and with “Big Money” Mike Smith in the saddle his chances to visit that hallowed winner's circle at Churchill Downs are that much better.Read More'Clicking Off Those 12s': Honor A.P.

Jockey Brian Hernadez gave him just enough of a workout in the final eighth of a mile, and while his 100 Beyer at Ellis may have been a bit of a regression from his 103 in the Blue Grass, Art Collector showed he can both handle early pressure and be tractable. He'll have to take another step forward to beat Tiz the Law and Honor A. P., but the colt has shown he's certainly capable of doing so. On a side note, it's hard not to root for this trainer and jockey, both of whom are underrated and getting a legitimate shot at the big dance.Read MoreArt Collector Records Front-Running Win In Runhappy Ellis Park DerbyDrury 'Hit The Lottery' With Ellis Park Derby Favorite Art CollectorBreeders' Cup Presents Connections: 'I Still Can't Find The Words'It's Official: Art Collector To Use Ellis Park Derby As 'Steppingstone' To First Saturday In SeptemberHernandez: 'You're Always Thinking About The Derby'More hereKing GuillermoConnectionsOwner: Victor Avila (Victoria's Ranch)Trainer: Juan Carlos AvilaJockey: Samy CamachoBreeder: Carhue Investments, Grouseridge Ltd. & Marengo InvestmentsPedigreeSire: Uncle MoDam: Slow Sand, by Dixieland BandSales Record: $150,000 at the OBS April sale90Derby PointsRace Record: 2-1-1 from five starts, $340,350Major Races: G1 Arkansas Derby (2nd), G2 Tampa Bay Derby (1st)Next Expected StartKentucky Derby on Sept. 54thPaulick Report RankingIt was unclear how talented this colt might be after his Tampa Bay Derby victory, but his second-place finish to Nadal in the Arkansas Derby was impressive. The long layoff from May to September could be a concern, but he's a lightly-made animal so there's no reason to think it wouldn't benefit him. King Guillermo has been at Churchill Downs for weeks getting used to the surface, and it looks like he'll be a major contender.Read MoreKentucky Derby Notes: King Guillermo's Fast Work, Tiz The Law's One-Day Delay, Arrival PlansKentucky Derby Notes: King Guillermo Fires A Bullet Under The Twin SpiresStraight Sets: Nadal Takes Second Division Of Arkansas Derby For Baffert SweepArkansas Derby: King Guillermo Gets Feel For Oaklawn SurfaceBreeders' Cup Presents Connections: Jockey Camacho Stays Humble Heading To The 'Big Time'Named For Martinez' Late Father, King Guillermo A Longshot Dream Come TrueMore hereCaracaroConnectionsOwner: Global Thoroughbred and Top Racing, LLCTrainer: Gustavo DelgadoJockey: Javier CastellanoBreeder: SF BloodstockPedigreeSire: Uncle MoDam: Peace Time, by War FrontSales Record: $95,000 weanling at Keeneland November60Derby PointsRace Record: 1-3-0 from four starts, $238,800Major Races: G1 Travers Stakes (2nd), G3 Peter Pan Stakes (2nd)Next Expected StartKentucky Derby on Sept. 55thPaulick Report RankingThis lightly-raced colt ran a big race in the Peter Pan, especially first time against winners, and took another big step forward in the Travers. He's got all the reason in the world to move up again in the Derby, his third start off the layoff. Caracaro may have been soundly defeated by Tiz the Law, but the late-developing colt ran a solid race and earned his spot in the Run for the Roses. With Hall of Famer Javier Castellano keeping the mount, Caracaro is even more likely to be capable of an upset.Read MoreCaracaro Breezes In Saratoga Slop For Self-Described 'Derby Dreamers'Kentucky Derby Consignor Standings Presented By Keeneland: Caracaro Seeks Derby Debut For Buckland SalesOn To The Derby For Travers Runner-Up Caracaro; Rice Keeping Max Player's Options OpenCaracaro 'In Another Category' Than Delgado's Other Derby Starters'Really?

Ny Traffic has had a good deal of racing experience, and is taking a step forward with each race. He's tactical and gritty, so he should be able to make some noise on the first Saturday in September.

After the Shared Belief win, Baffert explained that Thousand Words had gotten a bit sour, but the Hall of Fame trainer seems to have gotten a better idea of what makes this colt tick. Another one to keep a close eye on in the mornings leading up to the Run for the Roses.Read MoreReversal Of Fortune For Top Two Finishers In Shared BeliefThousand Words Re-Enters Kentucky Derby Picture, Beating Honor A.P.

He's got heart, and he's got the tactical speed to be dangerous, but I can't seem him winning the Kentucky Derby. Mike Smith, his regular rider, seems likely to pick Honor A.

The switch to Asmussen's barn doesn't seem to have affected his workout style; Asmussen tends to work his horses slower, but Max Player went sub-1:00 in his five furlong workout on Monday. The barn switch would typically move him up in my eyes, but if Asmussen isn't changing what the colt has been doing, I'll leave him in the same place on my list as when he was in Linda Rice's barn.Read MoreMax Player Works 'Really Well,' Covers Swift Five Furlongs In Company At Churchill DownsTravers Third Max Player Moved To Hall Of Famer Asmussen's BarnOn To The Derby For Travers Runner-Up Caracaro; Rice Keeping Max Player's Options OpenRice Hoping Rosario Keeps Max Player Closer To The Pace In Travers'Level-Headed' Max Player Puts In Final Work For Saturday's TraversHow Much Was That Horse Worth?

I'll be watching his morning works closely leading up to the first Saturday in September. The pick up of Corey Lanerie as his Derby jock is a positive step because of the rider's familiarity with Churchill Downs, but it still seems like a lot to ask of a colt who's yet to race on the dirt.Read MoreShirl's Speight May Be Short On Derby Points, But Connections Holding Out Hope For A Shot'Settled Down' Shirl's Speight Impressive Winning Marine Stakes For AttfieldMore hereMajor FedConnectionsOwner/Breeder: Lloyd MadisonTrainer: Greg FoleyJockey: James GrahamPedigreeSire: Hard SpunDam: Aristra, by Afleet AlexSales record: $200,000 yearling at Keeneland September sale38Derby PointsRace Record: 1-2-1 from six starts, $215,600Major Races: G3 Indiana Derby (2nd), G2 Risen Star (2nd)Next Expected StartKentucky Derby on Sept. 513thPaulick Report RankingHe hasn't gotten that top-level win yet, but Major Fed has a dedicated team behind him dedicated to his success.
