While the Road to the Kentucky Derby series features some of the nation’s most well-known races at famous racetracks, there are a few stops along the way tailored for the little guys.
Welcome to 2022 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 race horses earn points toward qualifying.
This year will mark the 41st edition of the Los Alamitos Futurity, a race previously known as the Hollywood Futurity and the CashCall Futurity that has been won by some of the top California 2-year-olds over the last four decades-plus.

Horse racing is a community filled with passion and heart. Today, our hearts are broken. The sudden passing of Medina Spirit is an absolute gut punch. Whether you're a fan of the sport or care for horses on any level, this is news that is so difficult to accept.
We extend our sympathies to Medina Spirit and we are thinking of those who cared deeply for him. This is a difficult time. We hope that in the days to come, this news drives meaningful discussion around horse safety. Racing can and should strive to do better.
