Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
There is talk of increasing the 2 weeks between KD and Preakness to 3 and moving the Belmont to a later start. There is push back from the NYRA on any changes and purists who feel it dimishes past triple crown champions who survived the past conditions. -
Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
Derby winner Golden Tempo out for Preakness. Not unexpected. Distance shorter, horse liked a longer race. Will be saving the charge for the Belmont Stakes at Saratoga. Same Derby distance. Belmont Stakes shortened up from 1 1/2 to 1 1/4 while at Saratoga due to track configuration. -
Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
It is a well known fact that all these star horses that retire at 3-4 years of age deprives the fan base of enjoying their performances. I fully understand why they do retire as the aforementioned reasons noted by the other posters have said. But racing continues to delete it's fan base by this early retirement concern.… -
Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
Small profit for me. Bet $8 got back $11.90 on my show bet on the winner. 2 win bets failed as well as my other show bet. Not a big player, but like to be in it. -
Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
Do you ever consider reversing your exactas just in case the result flips? Say on a DQ. Or if the bet had 2 longshots? -
2026 Kentucky Derby
It's that time of year again. 1 week to go. A field of 20 will run. Many variables and angles abound. Mike Smith seeks to become oldest winning jockey of the Derby. Father/son combination of the Motts racing against each other. Baffert in with 2 charges. Horses from Japan. Who do you like? -
Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
They change drastically. Justifys stud fee more than doubled winning the triple crown to over 200k for a live foal. They will come back down if their kids arent successful or they have problems breeding, arent considered big enough etc. In those cases the pedigree of success would be even more important -
Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
I doubt very much if the stud fees barely change one cent from winning the Triple Crown versus "only" winning the Derby and the Belmont. Firstly, that horse was 23-1 in the Derby, and the race just happened to set-up perfectly for it. Secondly In the Preakness, it probably would have went off around 4-1, and likely… -

Re: 2026 Kentucky Derby
Heading out to Shreveport in a bit. A little hold-em and then to Louisiana Downs for the Derby. I like to pick early and stay with it so I’ll swing by the Downs and get my tickets. Track is cool and fast and I’ve always liked deep closers in 3 year olds. Further Ado and Golden Tempo fit the bill. Good luck everyone and…
