How do they determine the rankings when several horses have the same number of points?

Wow, there are several horses on that list that have figuratively no chance of winning the derby. Is it possible/likely for a horse that has 0 current points can still make the field of 20?

The 50-point races are coming. I had read an early 'guesstimate' was 220-240 guarantees you a spot. That seems high but we will all see.

A win and a second in the 100 point races will get you in ( and a first in the 50 point races will too, though two might get left out if the UAE Derby get two 3yo finishing 1-2 to come over)

The problen, just like with purses, is that the really really top horses will win way more points than they need, not allowing others to get those points.
The same horse could win 2 100-pointers and a 50-pointer, plus.
