Kentucky Derby contender 

workouts for today (Tuesday, Feb. 15) 

(with HRN Derby rankings):

 

Today's Derby contender works featured a seven furlong move from Jaycito. The Bob Baffert trainee was last seen bolting in the BC Juvenile and has been in steady training at Santa Anita since Jan 12. He will skip the upcoming San Vicente in favor of the March 12 San Felipe. Baffert will be represented in the San Vicente by The Factor and Martin Garcia will ride.    

 

#6 Jaycito – 7f (best of 3) in 1:25.40 at Santa Anita.  

#85 Fort Larned – 4f breeze in :52 (24/25) at Palm Meadows.

#107 Humble And Hungry - Bullet 4f in :50.40 at Classic Mile.
