Two races remain on the schedule for horses seeking a starting spot in the Run for the Roses. The Lexington Stakes at Keeneland and the Derby Trial at Churchill Downs each offer 20 points to the winner, 8 for second, 4 for third and 2 for fourth. Results of those races could produce minor changes at the bottom of the qualifying list.
