Uncover the Stars of the Fair Grounds Racing Season

Immersive

The Godolphin homebred has been on a remarkable streak, winning four starts without a loss after claiming the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies last month. This unbeaten filly is now one of the favorites as she gears up for the Kentucky Oaks. In October, she triumphed in the Grade I Alcibiades Stakes, outshining Tom Amoss-trainee Quickick, another highly regarded 2-year-old filly at the Fair Grounds.

Her consistent performances have caught the attention of racing enthusiasts worldwide, and she is expected to make a significant impact on the track in the coming months.

Another Godolphin homebred, this son of Medaglia d’Oro had a setback in the Breeders Cup Juvenile when he finished a disappointing 9th despite being the 5 - 2 post-time favorite. However, he bounced back in October by winning the Grade I Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity at Keenland. Now, he is focused on the Road to the Kentucky Derby series at the Fair Grounds, where he aims to showcase his true potential.

His journey from a disappointing finish to a promising future is a story that keeps racing fans on the edge of their seats.

Mystik Dan

The 2024 Kentucky Derby winner is set to make his mark in the older male stakes races this winter. After taking some time off following a disappointing 8th place finish in the Belmont, this Ken McPeek trainee is back in action. He showed his strength by finishing a strong second in the Preakness Stakes after winning the Derby, proving that he is a force to be reckoned with.

His performances in these prestigious races have elevated his status among the top horses in the country.

Render Judgment

This speedy son of Blame is set to be one of the top 2-year-olds on the backside this winter. In October, he made a stunning maiden-breaker appearance at Churchill Downs, leaving a lasting impression on the racing community. Now, he is gearing up for the Road to the Kentucky Derby series at the Fair Grounds, where he hopes to continue his winning streak.

His speed and determination make him a horse to watch closely as the season progresses.

Brilliant Berti

For trainer Cherie DeVaux, this 3-year-old colt is a true gem. He started his racing career at the Fair Grounds last winter and has since won five out of seven lifetime starts, including the Grade II Bryan Station at Keenland this fall. Jockey Brian Hernandez has been a key factor in his success, riding him to victory in his last three wins.

Brilliant Berti's dominance on the turf has made him one of the top young turf runners in the nation, and he is sure to be a crowd favorite at the Fair Grounds.
