(Eclipse Sportswire) It’s hard to believe, but even in this COVID-19 winter the calendar keeps turning and the final round of preps for the 2021 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is already upon us with the Twinspires.com Louisiana Derby set for Saturday. The Louisiana Derby is the first prep to offer 100 Kentucky Derby qualifying points to the winner.

Do you agree with the 20 horses atop the Kentucky Derby odds?

70-1 Keepmeinmind Not that all these horses are certain to get to the gate or even qualify. Some might and probably will be bumped.

John Sadler’s turf colt Rock Your World (75-1) could crash the party via next month’s Santa Anita Derby (G1).

The winners of those three races assured themselves a spot in the Kentucky Derby starting gate on May 1.

One contender proved to be much the best on Saturday, another is good enough to qualify but still on the bubble, while the other two winners are not nominated for the Triple Crown. Let's jump in and start analyzing the leaderboard by looking at who's in, out, and who's on the 2021 Kentucky Derby points bubble after the Gotham Stakes (G3), Tampa Bay Derby (G2) and San Felipe (G2). Newly in When a top contender delivers an impressive win, the expectation that a 3-year-old can perform to that level without taking a step back isn't always rational. But when they do, the speculation that the 3-year-old is poised to become the next Kentucky Derby winner becomes even more appealing. After a win in the Sham Stakes (G2), Life is Good returned to Santa Anita Saturday with another remarkable performance. The win vaults the son of Into Mischief into a tie atop the leaderboard with 60 points.
