Sunday's work tab for Kentucky Derby prospects includes two runners for Bob Baffert.
This report includes horses who have odds of 200-1 or shorter in our latest report on Las Vegas Derby futures.
Some of these horses already have wins in graded stakes or points preps, and others need a quality race or two before they'll be considered serious contenders.
Another note: Baffert's horses are ineligible for Derby qualifying points because of his suspension from Churchill Downs. For an opportunity to earn points, they must be transferred to eligible trainers by Feb. 28.
