@Absolute_Cvnt Sir Barton won the Derby as a maiden, then went on to sweep the Triple Crown.

The best horse ran 2nd, happens all the time is this race. Lets be grateful this horse didn't win, would've been more laughable than Rich Strike.

@racing_dudes Because coddled Sovereignty couldn't handle running back in 2 weeks so blame the race instead.

Why does Bill Mott hate the Preakness so much? “Nobody talks about the Preakness. The Belmont at Saratoga; we need to discuss that.”

@BettingSitesCom Whirlaway famously wore one-eyed blinkers, that's not him in front.

Whirlaway, ridden by Eddie Arcaro, wins the Kentucky Derby with eight lengths to spare. The 3-year-old set a new record of 2:01.4 for the Derby, and would go on to win the Triple Crown.

@HeavyMetal_999 Eyes of a Stranger....but this is truly a no skipped tracks album

May 3, 1988. QUEENSRŸCHE publishes the masterpiece "Operation: Mindcrime" Which track is your favorite?🤔

@BradWeisbord @dbenhuffman @iradortiz @jose93_ortiz @theTDN @BloodHorse Should have declared Baeza a nonstarter and gave refunds

Churchill Downs deserves a near-perfect score for the show they put on this weekend. We got fair, consistent turf and dirt surfaces and most importantly, they were SAFE. Say what you want about the vet scratches, but I’ll go out on a limb: for the most part, the vets got it right. No system is perfect. They continue to invest in and upgrade the facility every year, and it shows. Mike Ziegler treats horsemen and clients the right way 💯. Credit to Ben Huffman and Dan Bork for putting together tremendous race cards. We saw some brilliant performances. Saw clips of the @NBCSports coverage, it was very engaging. At the event, even the music between races was dialed in (love 300 Violin Orchestra playing over the announcing of the horses for Oaks/Derby). Top to bottom, a terrific 2 days and a great stage to showcase our sport. A win for racing! 📸 @ChurchillDowns

@Barstool_Sotey @RacingRachelM Trainers handle everything from the horse's diet to devising its training regimen to selecting the appropriate races and riders to treating injuries. They are nutritionists, coaches, and physical therapists.

@RacingRachelM It’s animals running fast with midget Hispanic men on their backs…..it’s an inhumane sport and trainers do nothing more than serve hay and shovel shit. If I’m wrong, what advice do she give the horse pre race to set it up for victory? Was it a Rockne type speech?

2026: a woman wins the Kentucky Derby for the first time. Not because women just got here—but because they’ve had to work twice as hard to be seen. Respect to every woman in this sport who’s earned her place the hard way.

@JustinMacmahan Because owners give all the million $ babies to the same 10 trainers - Baffert, Cox, Pletcher, etc. Shelley Riley finished 2nd but it was with a horse she owned herself.

I’m completely ignorant when it comes to horse training, but I can’t think of one advantage to being a male vs female. How has a female trainer never won?

@TheAthletic It's about time!

HERSTORY. Cherie DeVaux becomes the first female trainer of a Kentucky Derby winner with horse Golden Tempo.

"I don't even have any words right now." We've got some for you @reredevaux, how about first woman to train a @KentuckyDerby winner.

Congratulations @reredevaux on becoming the 1st woman trainer to win the #KentuckyDerby! This is the moment I've been waiting for!

@Ykmusky I would've stopped the ceremony cold, walked over to the parents and DEMANDED that they leave ASAP.

Angry bride struggles through vows as guest lets baby cry during ‘adults-only’ ceremony trib.al/WYgBoyI

@trifectabox Rode a $5k claimer for me at Garden on his retirement tour. Ran 2nd & said my horse "wasn't very responsive" & he couldn't remember the last time he had to start whipping at the 3/8ths pole. I just shrugged. "Yup, that's why he's in for a 5k tag."

Pat Day will announce "Riders Up" for the Kentucky Derby.

Authors, show me your awesome book cover art below 👇 Be sure to include links also and I'll happily repost some 😎

@MariaGraceVT Or she may learn that holding screaming kids is not for her.

There should be at least 5 minutes of government mandated baby holding each year for every woman above the age of 20 and no I'm not joking.

@buckeyebettie Better a broken home than broken bones

Feminism’s impact on divorce rates has left millions of children navigating the trauma of broken homes.

@symeew13 Absolutely! Lzzy is a phenomenal singer and underrated guitarist.

Is Halestorm worth checking out?

@missmaryeliza I picked him....as an instant toss.

Did anyone on here actually choose Rich Strike in 2022?

@GhostofSwiftH Doesn't matter, vets will still scratch him.

Golden Tempo has looked exceptional in workouts and on track. The cracked heel is no issue at all.

@HazelAppleyard Bought my BF a Sega game console for Christmas. He got me nothing. Dumped him.

THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY NASTY WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THIS ???
