The entry box closed Wednesday morning, and the field is limited to the top 20 horses based on points earned in designated prep races.

Leading the way is California Chrome, winner of the Santa Anita Derby. The colt is trained by 77-year-old Art Sherman, who could become the oldest trainer to win the Kentucky Derby.

Todd Pletcher will saddle four horses: Danza, Intense Holiday, Vinceremos and We Miss Artie. Trainer Mike Maker has three horses: General a Rod, Harry's Holiday and Vicar's In Trouble. Trainer Bob Baffert, a three-time Derby winner, has two: Hoppertunity and Chitu.
