Kentucky Derby 2025 futures favorite Barnes was back on the track for a workout Sunday morning.

The Into Mischief colt owned by Zedan Racing Stables and
trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert went a half-mile in 48.6 seconds working
through intermittent drizzle on the fast main track at Santa Anita.

Barnes carries 10-1 fixed odds in the Caesars Sportsbook futures in Nevada. He was the 6-1 individual favorite when pool 3 closed Sunday in  the pari-mutuel Kentucky Derby Future Wager conducted nationally by Churchill Downs.
