Updates on Kentucky Derby contenders and other news as the Run for the Roses is now just 10 days away.

Baffert duo works: Reigning champion 2-year-old Lookin at Lucky and once-beaten Conveyance turned in strong works Wednesday morning for Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert. Lookin at Lucky - winner of the Rebel and most recently third in the Santa Anita Derby - worked six furlongs in company in 1:12.01. The son of Smart Strike was eager early, turning in a first quarter of :23.93, and strong late, completing five furlongs in :59.58 en route to his final clocking - which came without the blinkers he wore for his two starts this year. The colt galloped out seven furlongs in 1:25.08 and a mile in 1:39.70. Southwest winner Conveyance, most recently second in the Sunland Park Derby, worked five furlongs in :58.76, best of 22 on the day. The gray colt turned in splits of :23.20, :34.42 and :46.36 before galloping out six furlongs in 1:12.16.

Torre's colt works: Champagne winner Homeboykris, winless in two starts this year, got his first feel of the Churchill Downs track just a day after getting off the plane from Florida, breezing an easy six furlongs in 1:14.58. Los Angeles Dodgers manager Joe Torre, who owns a share in the colt, was on hand to witness the work. The son of Roman Ruler turned in fractions of :25.21 and :50.20 and galloped out in 1:28.04.

Favorite gallops: Likely Derby favorite Eskendereya, winner of the Fountain of Youth and Wood Memorial by daylight margins, got his first feel of the track on Wednesday, galloping a mile and a quarter. The colt arrived from his winter training base, Palm Meadows, yesterday.

Trial could produce starter: Churchill Downs opens for its spring/summer meet - which is, of course, highlighted by the Kentucky Derby - on Saturday. The opening day feature is the $200,000 added Grade III Derby Trial Stakes ($124,000 to the winner), which this year could have a major impact on the Derby field. The respective connections of Florida Derby runner-up Pleasant Prince and Bay Shore winner Eightyfiveinafifty have said that they will likely run their colts back a week later should either win and earn their way into the Derby's field of 20, based on performance in graded stakes. Pleasant Prince is currently 27th on the graded earnings list with $166,250 and Eightyfiveinafifty is 31st with $120,000. Homeboykris is currently in the 20th spot with $250,500.
