Projected field for the Kentucky Derby includes the top 20 on the leaderboard and four horses on the bubble.

The expectation that Saturday's $500,000 Santa Anita Derby (G1) would yield the likely favorite for next month's Kentucky Derby (G1) came to fruition when Journalism followed up his last-out win in the San Felipe (G2) with a come-from-behind score in the 1 1/8-mile test.

Barnes was a talking horse before his debut victory, and the $3.2 million yearling purchase raised the decibel level with a spectacular display in Saturday’s San Vicente (G2).
