The field for Kentucky Derby 2024 was drawn on April 27. Twenty horses plus two also-eligibles passed the entry box. In a late development on April 30, Encino was injured and had to scratch out of the Derby, and that allowed first alternate Epic Ride to move into the body of the race. Mugatu is the first alternative now and needs one defection to get in.
