all in Triple Crown

It’s back to work for 2022 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve winner Rich Strike.

We’re a little more than one week into 2023, and excitement is percolating at racetracks around the country as newly-turned 3-year-olds emerge as potential contenders for this spring’s Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve May 6 at Churchill Downs.

Welcome to 2023 Kentucky Derby Prospect Snapshots, where we’ll take a look each week at a recent winner on the Triple Crown trail, usually from the Road to the Kentucky Derby schedule from which the racehorses earn points toward qualifying.

The 1 ¼-mile Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve will be held May 6, 2023, at Churchill Downs.

After winning for the first time in late November, Bob Baffert trainee Reincarnate powered into 2023 with renewed energy to win by a neck at 16-1 odds in the Jan. 8 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita Park.

Michael McCarthy has trained a champion in the female sprinter Ce Ce, and Grade 1 and Breeders' Cup winners such as City of Light, Smooth Like Strait, and Queen Goddess. He was even the trainer of record for Rags to Riches in one of her Grade 1 wins.
