Ky. Derby odds: New Baffert colt is among 204 in futures
{{monthName}} {{day}}, {{year}} {{hour12}}:{{minuteTwoDigit}}{{dayPeriod}}
Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Forte still was the best-priced favorite in Las Vegas. Debut winner Arabian Knight still carried the shortest price. The number of horses listed between two bookmakers reached 204.
But the most conspicuous change since last week in Nevada’s fixed-odds Kentucky Derby 2023 futures was the addition of an unraced prospect from the barn of Bob Baffert who won his debut Monday.
Faustin, a Curlin colt who scored as the odds-on favorite in a maiden race at Santa Anita, was cut to the 22-1 fourth choice at Circa Sports, where he started generating steam among bettors a week ago.

“He was requested, and we put Faustin up last Monday afternoon before the card was drawn,” Circa’s Paul Zilm said before the race. “We opened him at 35-1, and he was bet down to 29-1. Before we put him up I did my research and saw his works. He does appear to be a monster.”
Bought for $800,000 last spring by Pandora Jewelry founder Michael Lund Petersen, Faustin has had three bullet workouts this fall. Bet down to 4-5 for Monday’s fourth race at Santa Anita, Faustin was ridden by Ramón Vázquez to a 2 3/4-length win against seven other 2-year-old maidens going six furlongs for a purse of $67,000.
Even though Baffert is suspended from taking part in the Derby, his horses may qualify if they are transferred to other trainers. Legal action is pending that could reverse the action against Baffert, who was sanctioned after the late Medina Spirit failed a drug test and eventually was disqualified from his first-place finish in the 2021 Derby.
Faustin was one of six new horses listed by Circa, which shortened the odds for 26 more and drifted them for 118.
Caesars, which has had two months’ more exposure to bets than Circa, was much less active. It cut the prices for eight horses, drifted one and added one. Hoosier Philly, the filly who won the Golden Rod (G2) last month at Churchill Downs, opened at Caesars at 75-1 compared with 40-1 at Circa.
