Trainer Bob Baffert moved the remainder of his top Kentucky Derby horses to former assistant Tim Yakteen on Sunday including Arabian Knight, winner of the Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn and the horse given the best chance of winning the Derby, according to future odds. Arabian Knight is back at Santa Anita and his next race could be either the Arkansas Derby or Santa Anita Derby. Our whole program is based on 3-year-olds and the Kentucky Derby. Yakteen received two of Baffert's Derby horses last year, Taiba and Messier, whom he qualified by finishing first and second in the Santa Anita Derby. They weren't as lucky in the Kentucky Derby, finishing 12th and 15th.
