This new feature offers details on the latest published works by prospective Kentucky Derby 2023 contenders.
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 points preps, while others need a quality race or two before they'll be considered serious contenders.
Among the workers were Arctic Arrogance, who is pointed to the Withers (G3), a Kentucky Derby points prep Saturday, and Hejazi, the $3.55 million colt trained by Bob Baffert who broke his maiden on his fourth try two weeks ago.
Baffert's horses are ineligible for Derby qualifying points because of the trainer's suspension from Churchill Downs. For an opportunity to earn points, they must be transferred to eligible trainers by Feb. 28.
