Kentucky Derby 2026 works: Incredibolt leads 8 hopefuls
Incredibolt, winner of the Grade 3 Street Sense in his most recent start, worked Tuesday at Palm Meadows for trainer Riley Mott.
The Bolt d'Oro colt breezed four furlongs in 49.65 seconds, eighth fastest of 10 at the distance. It was his second work since his last-to-first effort in the Street Sense, where he earned 10 qualifying points toward Kentucky Derby 2026.
Mott said that although his plans for Incredibolt are flexible, he expected to use the South Florida prep series for the Kentucky Derby, with the Jan. 31 Holy Bull (G3) being the next target.
