‘Forgotten Horse’ Authentic Completes Penultimate Workout For Kentucky Derby

Following an abandoned workout on Monday, Haskell winner Authentic completed his scheduled breeze successfully on Tuesday at Del Mar. According to the Daily Racing Form, the 3-year-old son of Into Mischief was given an official time of 1:38.60 for a mile under exercise rider Juan Ochoa.

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert had Authentic in 1:24.60 for seven furlongs, and plans to breeze the colt again on Sunday before shipping him to Churchill Downs on Monday.

A five-time winner from six starts, Authentic is expected to be at least double-digit odds in the Run for the Roses.
