At one point in my life I waited anxiously for the Top 20 songs to be revealed each week on the radio.  On the radio, Casey Kasum gave us the answers in one hour.  Now in the spring, my thoughts  go to the Kentucky Derby point standings.  No Casey Kasum to count down the songs on my transistor radio, but the horse racing world does let us know the changes on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.  It has become quite fun to see the horses change.

With the new point system for the Kentucky Derby, the Top 5 can change in a day.  This week standings changed with ‘Hear The Ghost ‘ and ‘Flashback’ both entering the Top 5.  The Top 2013 Kentucky Derby point standing contenders can change faster than the Billboard 100.  The 2013 Kentucky Derby prep races definitely change the standings.
