Churchill Downs R12 Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve G1

Quite the wild show with that nasty pudding-like track. Poor Mendelssohn not only slammed at the start but into the first turn (I think). But wow, Justify, he delivered on all the hype. Amazing.

DonGuido adds another KY Derby glass to his collection with a sweet win! Real Quiet was up there for second. JolyB ran a respectable third. RUFFIAN-333 was close on his heels in fourth.

If you haven't seen it, here's a link to a great interview with Aiden O'Brien about the experience. He is all class and one of the very best trainers in the world. I found his comments on the American Racing culture particularly interesting. Racing is so different all around the world, on dirt, grass, etc. https://www.racinguk.com/news/ten-th...kentucky-derby
