20 Kentucky Derby hopefuls work including Knightsbridge

Two last-out winners with significant futures interest worked Friday morning for the first time since those wins. Knightsbridge, who broke his maiden by a dazzling 10 1/2-length margin for trainer Bill Mott at Churchill Downs on Nov. 7, worked four furlongs at Payson Park.

Off of that impressive debut, his best price in Las Vegas is 35-1, putting him in the top 10 among futures choices. Carbone, an allowance winner Dec. 31 at Oaklawn for Steve Asmussen, worked five furlongs over that track. Off that four-length romp, he is a 70-1 best price in Las Vegas.

A pair of last-out graded-stakes winners also worked Friday morning. Wynstock, winner of the Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) on Dec. 16, worked a sharp four furlongs at Santa Anita. Off of that early-season prep win, his best price in Las Vegas is 175-1. Stay Hot, a 200-1 long shot who won the Cecil B. DeMille (G3) on the lawn, posted a three-furlong work.
