@katiep_tdn @SaraChristineG She's a star ⭐️⭐️

TDN Social Media Manager @SaraChristineG did the work of five people this Derby week, from backside coverage every morning to a long few days of racing, and to cap it off she made it back to Lexington today to welcome the Derby winner home to Keeneland!

@SaratogaGoose The final chapter

The airport in Albany wants us all to go to Belatoga III.

One day 🙏🌹

@EJXD2 @DanWolken For the love of god I could use some hair dye

@DanWolken I spy @lizzymadden_

One little leftover nugget from yesterday. Morning Joe and Mika were in the winners’ circle. Not sure why. Maybe a connection to Vinny Viola?

@theMikeShear @stoolpresidente Right behind my king Publisher 🤣

@stoolpresidente $609k in earnings…richest maiden ever?

Does anybody have video of Ocelli’s owners watching the Derby? I need to see their reaction when it looked like he was gonna win #kentuckyderby

Brothers Jose and Irad Ortiz share a moment after they finish 1-2 in the Kentucky Derby.❤️

A huge shoutout to @LegionBldstk who bought 3rd place finisher in the @KentuckyDerby, Ocelli, for just $12,000. 🙌🏻

@daniehens @ChurchillDowns @NBCSports He came by us in the stands fine!

Would love to know how Banishing is doing. @ChurchillDowns @NBCSports

@StablesCrk Ran great 💜💜

Baeza is back!!!! But he’s gotta get out of the gate. You couldn’t have tried harder sweet boy and it’s going to be a great year! 💜

@clementstable Hard to find someone more deserving. 💛💙

An extraordinary honor for Christophe’s Hall of Fame induction. He always put the horse first and believed in doing things the right way. Today we celebrate his legacy—and the village who helped build it. We only wish he were here to share it. Raising a glass of rosé 💙💛

@mocowgirl15 My blood pressure is not normal 🤣

Why is the week before Derby the most chaotic week of the year? It's like everyone schedules everything the week I'm trying to get my outfit wrapped up and get plans solidified for Derby. No one ask me my picks bc I haven't even looked at any replays😂

Work of the Day from #PalmBeachDowns—@KentuckyDerby hopeful Renegade (Inside) and Powershift worked 4 Furlongs in 48.87 on April 16th, 2026, for trainer @PletcherRacing.

🪽Frosted • 2012-2026🪽 💔 A stallion who left his mark on the track, in the barn, and in all of us.

We are heartbroken to report that #Frosted has been euthanized this afternoon at Jonabell Farm due to complications from laminitis. He will be greatly missed 💔 Read more ⬇️ darleyamerica.com/news/brilliant…

@reredevaux "I walk the dogs and pay the bills" is killing me 🤣

Love this…future of our sport

@SaratogaGoose My dad bought his last week, I wonder how many people got the pre sale

Most of the sections are already listed as Sold Out.

Literally, So Happy, for Mark Glatt. A good man that has been through a lot this year.

*sound up* Percy gets her Grade I win 🥹
