HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Friday was a busy morning for trainer Todd Pletcher at his winter home at the Palm Beach Downs training center, starting just before dawn with the first of three full sets of workers that included one of his three Kentucky Derby hopefuls, Louisiana Derby winner Noble Indy.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Though Enticed already has enough points to make it into the field for the Kentucky Derby, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin isn’t viewing the colt’s participation in Saturday’s Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct as a mere prep race.
“We’re there to win,” McLaughlin said Thursday from South Florida. “It’s a very important race. The Derby is the Derby and it’s hard to win it no matter what. This becomes a million-dollar important race, not just a prep race.”
LEXINGTON, Ky. – A disappointing effort in the Fountain of Youth by Good Magic helped muddle the Kentucky Derby picture, but all is not lost for his camp. The reigning divisional champion, he will have every opportunity to regain his lost stature when he goes postward as a solid favorite Saturday in the annual spring showcase at Keeneland, the $1 million Blue Grass Stakes.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Expectations will meet reality at Santa Anita on Saturday, when the colts currently adjudged as the top two choices in ante-post betting for the Kentucky Derby, Bolt d’Oro and Justify, square off in the Grade 1, $1 million Santa Anita Derby. The result could very well determine who goes off the favorite May 5 at Churchill Downs.
Hawkbill posted a major payday last weekend, winning the Group 1, $6 million Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan. Half-brother Free Drop Billy looks for another major score for the family – and to punch his ticket to the Kentucky Derby – in Saturday’s Grade 2, $1 million Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland.

It’s rare for high-priced auction yearlings to earn their purchase price back on the racetrack. But three of the nine youngsters sold for seven figures at the 2016 Keeneland September yearling sale are chasing that target with solid performances against high-end competition – and even more importantly, they’re chasing priceless notoriety as Kentucky Derby candidates.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Despite offering a $1 million purse and a great opportunity to qualify for the Kentucky Derby, Saturday’s Grade 2 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct drew a modest nine-horse field topped by Enticed, a perfect-trip winner of the Grade 3 Gotham, and the Grade 1 winner Firenze Fire. There are five horses in the field who would be eligible for a first-level allowance race.
