Somewhere around 22. It isn't sure until the day of the race. many horses are scratched before the race begins.

The maximum number of horses that can be entered in the Kentucky Derby, by rule, is 20, although that number is rarely met, either due to just fewer entries or by late scratches. Looking at recent history, expect about 17 horses to enter the gate.And if you're interested, the early favorite this year is StevieWonderBoy.
