Horse Racing

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — Cyberknife won the $1.25 million Arkansas Derby on Saturday in the richest prep race for the Kentucky Derby.

Ridden by Florent Geroux, Cyberknife ran 1⅛ miles in 1:50.42 and paid $13.60, $7 and $3.60.

Barber Road returned $7.40 and $4.

Secret Oath, the filly trained by 86-year-old Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas, paid $2.80 to show.

Doppelganger finished fourth. The colt had been with Hall of Famer Bob Baffert before being transferred to Tim Yakteen. Baffert’s 90-day suspension begins Monday. He has been sanctioned stemming from the disqualification of Medina Spirit, who finished first in the 2021 Kentucky Derby.

Trained by Brad Cox, Cyberknife won his previous race Feb. 19 at the Fair Grounds. The colt finished sixth in his only other stakes race Jan. 22 in Louisiana.
