Works: Knightsbridge leads 15 Kentucky Derby candidates on tab

Knightsbridge, who has not raced since his 10 1/2-length win on debut Nov. 4, fired a bullet work Sunday to lead the list of Kentucky Derby 2024 contenders who appeared on the work tab.

The Nyquist colt was clocked at 1:01.4 going five furlongs at Payson Park in Florida for trainer Bill Mott. It was the fourth consecutive weekly workout for Knightsbridge.

Knightsbridge, who was not listed among the 39 individual choices in this weekend’s pari-mutuel Kentucky Derby Future Wager, was best-priced in the Las Vegas fixed-odds market at 75-1 to win May 4 at Churchill Downs.

Mott has not publicly identified a race for Knightsbridge’s first race in 2024.
