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.

Tom Pedulla presents five key takeaways from racing action near ($1 million Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark.) and far ($20 million Saudi Cup at King Abdulaziz Racecourse in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia).

Confidence Game may have fooled the betting public, earning a surprising victory at 18-1 odds in the $1 million Grade 2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park on Feb. 25, but nothing appeared fraudulent about his performance.

In its fourth running, the $20 million Saudi Cup effectively turned into a Middle East edition of the Japan Cup.

The Breeders’ Cup, Thoroughbred racing’s year-end global championship event, today announced the 2024 World Championships will take place at Del Mar in Del Mar, Calif., on Friday, Nov. 1 and Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, where fans from around the world will gather to witness the best horses, trainers, and jockeys compete over two days. The Breeders’ Cup World Championships consists of 14 Grade 1 races with purses and awards totaling more than $31 million.
