The last leg of the Triple Crown wrapped ran on Saturday evening, and we saw another upset in one of the top events in horse racing. A month after Mystik Dan won the 150th Kentucky Derby at 18/1 odds, another double-digit odds horse crossed the finish line first at the Belmont Stakes. Dornoch won the 156th Belmont Stakes at 17/1. The thoroughbred that finished in 10th place in the Kentucky Derby hugged the rail with jockey Luis Saez in the Belmont Stakes and held off Mindframe for a 1 1/2-length victory. Louisville native Danny Gargan logged his first Triple Crown win as Dornoch finished the r...

The 2024 edition of the Belmont Stakes is not your typical third jewel of the Triple Crown. Belmont Park is currently undergoing significant renovations to the racetrack, forcing operations to move to upstate New York at Saratoga Race Course. Some say Saratoga is the most beautiful place in North America to watch the ponies prance around the track. It will be a delightful change of pace, but the move comes with a significant, controversial change. What makes the Belmont “The Test of the Champion” is that it’s 1 1/2 miles, the longest of any race on the North American circuit. Rather than keep ...

American Pharoah snapped a 37-year Triple Crown drought in 2015 winning by winning the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes in convincing fashion. Justify did the same thing three years later in 2018. There will not be a Triple Crown champion in 2024 as another drought has now reached six years. Seize the Grey (8/1) held off Kentucky Derby champion Mystik Dan in the 149th edition of the Preakness Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course. The gray thoroughbred, ridden by jockey Jaime Torres, went wire to wire giving 88-year-old Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas his seventh vi...

The 149th running of the Preakness Stakes is this Saturday at Pimlico Racecourse in Baltimore. Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan is trying to become the first horse to win the Triple Crown since Justify in 2018. While most of the world will be paying closer attention to the race, the biggest storyline for the future of the sport is off the track. Pimlico Racecourse has fallen into disrepair, with some speculating the home of the Preakness may be moved. That speculation was put to rest when the Stronach Group turned over ownership of the track to the state of Maryland for only $1. The change wil...

A large obstacle has been removed from Mystik Dan’s path to a Triple Crown. On Wednesday morning Pimlico officials revealed Muth has been scratched from Saturday’s Preakness Stakes. Trained by Bob Baffert, the Hall of Famer said Muth spiked a fever of 103 shortly after the horse arrived in Baltimore Tuesday night. “We are sick about this. The horse had been doing really well,” Baffert said. “But we have to do what’s right by the horse.” Muth was victorious in the Arkansas Derby, defeating Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan and Just Steel, who’s entered in each of the first two legs of the Triple...

There’s an old saying in horse racing. The Preakness Stakes doesn’t have a lot going for it, but it always has one thing over all of the other Triple Crown races — it’s the only one with the Kentucky Derby winner. This year the Preakness has the Kentucky Derby winner and it isn’t even the favorite. When the post positions were drawn, Mystik Dan landed at No. 5, but the horse in the gate next to him is the favorite. Kenny McPeak’s horse is the 5-2 second choice just behind 8-5 Muth in gate No. 4. It’s unusual for the Kentucky Derby winner to play second-fiddle to another horse, but it’s not unp...

The pain starts in the shin, wraps around the back of the leg and creeps up into the lower back. That’s the pain of walking miles and miles around Churchill Downs over a week’s time and it’s incomparable to what the connections of Forever Young and Sierra Leone must feel after coming up inches short of winning the Kentucky Derby. The 150th running of the Kentucky Derby delivered in the best way possible. Patrons were welcomed to the racetrack with a beautiful spring day that didn’t make men sweat through their tailored suits. Anticipation bubbled in the air throughout the day until the horses ...

More people watched Saturday’s 150th running of the Kentucky Derby than any Derby in the last 35 years. 20.1 million viewers tuned into the race, the most ever for an NBC-broadcasted horserace. Back in 1989, 18.5 million people watched Sunday Silence win the race on ABC. To be fair, 20.1 million was the peak, but the entire coverage still averaged 16.7 million sets of eyeballs. This number is up nine percent over last year. This rendition of the Derby also became the most-streamed Derby ever, with 714,000 viewers on Peacock, more than doubling last year’s numbers. NBC must like what they see. ...

The biggest yearly event in the Bluegrass State took place on Saturday evening at Churchill Downs. In front of more than 156,000 patrons, the 150th edition of the Kentucky Derby was one that will be talked about for a long time. At 18/1, Mystik Dan secured the bed of roses winning the biggest race in the sport with a time of 2:03.34. But we needed some photo evidence to confirm. The Derby was three-wide approaching the finish line with Mystik Dan holding off favorite Sierra Leone (9/2) and Forever Young (6/1). A $2 exacta paid out $258.56, and a $1 trifecta including Forever Young paid a massi...

Reed Sheppard nailed it — shocker, right? Mystik Dan is your Kentucky Derby winner, just as the former Wildcat star predicted leading up to the race at Churchill Downs. And it happened to be one of the most exciting races in Derby history, down to the wire and a true photo finish with a trio of horses neck-and-neck-and-neck with the winner separated by a matter of inches. You couldn’t make it closer if you tried, the first Kentucky Derby decided by a nose since 1996. Mystik Dan pulled off the win with an official time of Mystik Dan raced the Kentucky Derby in a winning time of 2:03.34, followe...
