The Road to the Kentucky Derby kept winding along this past weekend with two more races awarding 50-20-10-5 points for the first to fourth place finishers. The Tampa Bay Derby went down at Tampa Bay Downs and the San Felipe Stakes was contested at Santa Anita. Graham Motion trained Ring Weekend joined the top five in the standings with a 50 point haul in the Tampa Bay Derby along with Art Sherman trained California Chrome who gained 50 with his win in the San Felipe. With just three races in which 50 points will be handed out to the winners (the next seven award 100-40-20-10 points for first to fourth), a win in every remaining race along the Road virtually guarantees a starting spot in the Kentucky Derby in May.
