Though he was a fast, elite 2-year-old last season, Breeders’ Cup Juvenile runner-up Cave Rock is taking his own sweet time at age 3. Cave Rock is the only horse on the Derby Watch list without a race or workout in 2023. Cave Rock is galloping daily at Santa Anita, and trainer Bob Baffert said the colt is nearing his first comeback work.
“I’m not pressing him, I’m not forcing him to do anything,” Baffert said Sunday. “He’s going to start breezing in a couple weeks. There’s nothing set in stone. He’s going to let me know. I did lose two weeks during the rain. That set me back.”
Confirming what seemed all but certain when the colt didn’t post a timed workout last weekend, trainer Brad Cox said Tuesday that Instant Coffee won’t run in the Risen Star Stakes on Feb. 18 at Fair Grounds and will await the $1 million Louisiana Derby on March 25.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Jockey Frankie Dettori moved to Santa Anita this winter with the hope of finding a leading contender for the Kentucky Derby in the final year of his illustrious career. On Saturday at Santa Anita, Dettori won the Grade 3 Robert Lewis Stakes on Newgate, who is a candidate to reach the historic race at Churchill Downs on May 6.

ARCADIA, Calif. – A 3-year-old colt suspected to have distance limitations is putting those doubts to rest this season at Santa Anita.
Newgate, runner-up in a Grade 3 mile last out, won his first graded stakes Saturday in the Grade 3 Robert B. Lewis. Newgate won the mile and a sixteenth race by a neck over longshot Hard to Figure in a race conspicuously void of depth. All four runners are trained by Bob Baffert.

LOUISIVILLE, Ky. – A two-day hearing in a U.S. District Court to weigh arguments on whether Churchill Downs can continue to ban trainer Bob Baffert from this year’s Kentucky Derby concluded Friday afternoon, and a decision on a request by Baffert’s attorneys for a temporary injunction is expected within the next several weeks, if not sooner.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Cyclone Mischief was rated No. 12 in Daily Racing Form’s inaugural Derby Watch for the 2023 road to the Kentucky Derby. He would improve significantly on that position when list two is released next week with a big performance in Saturday’s $250,000 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
