LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Eight new names are in the lineup for the fourth and final pool of the 2018 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which opens Friday at noon Eastern for the customary three-day run.
With three major Derby preps set for Saturday – the Wood Memorial, Blue Grass, and Santa Anita Derby – many bettors will be waiting until after results of those races are known to place their wagers, given that odds are not locked in until the pool closes Sunday at 6 p.m. Eastern.
Eclipse Award champion Good Magic was installed as the 2-1 morning-line favorite in a full and eclectic field for the Grade 2, $1 million Blue Grass Stakes on Tuesday, when Keeneland’s marquee Saturday card was drawn.
Good Magic landed post 11 under regular rider Jose Ortiz for the Blue Grass, which has a field of 14 3-year-olds plus one also-eligible.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Dream Baby Dream, the runner-up in the Grade 3, $800,000 Sunland Derby on March 25, is being pointed for the Grade 1, $1 million Arkansas Derby, said his trainer, Steve Asmussen. The 1 1/8-mile race is April 14 at Oaklawn.
“He ran well at a mile and an eighth at Sunland – it was the first shot to run him that far – and I thought he ran as expected with the distance,” said Asmussen.
Dream Baby Dream entered the Sunland Derby off a third-place finish in a Feb. 19 allowance at Oaklawn. He is owned by Dream Baby Dream Racing Stable.
ARCADIA, Calif. – After finally getting a chance to see McKinzie for the first time in a week, assessing his status, and looking at the calendar, trainer Bob Baffert on Monday morning here at Santa Anita said it was “not looking good” for McKinzie to make the Kentucky Derby on May 5 at Churchill Downs.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Greyvitos, the winner of the $402,400 Springboard Mile at Remington Park in December, will have a new jockey when he returns from injury in the Grade 3 Lexington Stakes at Keeneland on April 14.
Evin Roman, the champion apprentice jockey of 2017, will ride Greyvitos for the first time, trainer Adam Kitchingman said on Sunday. Roman replaces Victor Espinoza, who is booked to ride Accelerate in the Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap in Arkansas on the same day.
On Sunday at Del Mar, Greyvitos worked seven furlongs from the gate in 1:27.20 under Roman.
ARCADIA, Calif. – Bolt d’Oro reached the finish of a five-furlong workout at Santa Anita on Sunday in 1:01.20. It was then that the talented colt decided the exercise was not complete.
“When he got to the wire, he grabbed the bit like he was coming out of the gate,” trainer Mick Ruis said.
Exercise rider Agapito Delgadillo told Ruis that Bolt d’Oro had ample energy after five furlongs. The promising workout comes just days before Bolt d’Oro starts in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on Saturday in a final prep for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 5.
