from Thoroughbred Times:
The second-place finish by Dunkirk in the Florida Derby (G1) places the lightly raced Unbridleds Song colt on the bubble for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum Brands (G1).
The Derby is restricted to a maximum of 20 starters with preference given to horses with the highest earnings in graded and group stakes races. Dunkirk secured the first graded stakes earnings of his career in the Florida Derby but that $150,000 in earnings places him in a tie for 21st.
Several runners currently listed ahead of Dunkirk, such as Big Drama, may not race in the Derby, but others scheduled to race in the next three weekends also could pass Dunkirk. Also, Kentucky Derby Challenge Stakes winner Mafaaz has earned a guaranteed spot in the Derby if his connections decide to start, a move that would effectively limit the field to the top 19 group/graded stakes earners.
Beyond Dunkirk, Theregoesjojo, who placed in the Fountain of Youth Stakes (G2) and the Florida Derby (G1) and is 27th on the list, is in even a more precarious situation and could have to secure more graded stakes earnings to qualify.
Also, if the connections of any fillies with the required graded stakes earnings opt for the Derby, it would take away additional spots.
In the list below, horses listed in italics would have to be nominated late to race in the Derby.

1. Regal Ransom $1,250,000

Do you remember Real Quiet, Silver Charm, Giacomo,Charismatic and a brutal loss by Cavonieer to Grindstone, I know they didn't win the SA Derby but they all came back to with the Ky Derby.
