(#) - 1st place votes <p>Note:
Points are based on rankings given by a panel of five CDSN Handicappers (John Asher, Jill Byrne, Steve Fugitte, John Gaver III & Lane Gold) and are assigned as follows: each first-place vote is worth 20 points, each second-place vote is worth 19 points, each third-place vote is worth 18 points, etc., through 20th place. Points are added together to determine the consensus total, and horses are then ranked based on the total number of points accumulated.
