Graded Stakes Earnings 2012
Here are the current Kentucky Derby Graded Stakes earnings for 2012. The Kentucky Derby Prep races are underway and the Kentucky Derby is just 34 days away at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
Graded Stakes earnings are used to determine the eligibility of a horse to make it into the starting gate in conjunction with their prepaid entry fee for the Triple Crown Nominations.
Yesterday we watched Take Charge Indy upset Union Rags the morning line favorite and early Kentucky Derby favorite in the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park. Daddy Long Legs also jumped up the graded stakes earnings board with a win in the UAE Derby.
Every week I will be updating the Kentucky Derby Contenders ranked by Graded Stakes earnings for 2012 list so check back every weekend as we make yet another “Run for the Roses”.
