At Churchill Downs, Kenny McPeek has truly experienced a season like no other. His hometown track in Louisville, Kentucky, has been the stage for some remarkable feats. Rattle N Roll's victory in the $600,000 Clark Stakes (G2) on Friday (Nov. 29) capped off a historic run. This 5-year-old chestnut horse outdueled Most Wanted and showed exceptional racing skills.

McPeek's Historic Achievements

McPeek became the first trainer in Churchill Downs history to sweep the Kentucky Derby (G1), Kentucky Oaks (G1), and the Clark – the track's signature races – in one season. Back in May, he achieved another milestone by becoming the third trainer to win the Oaks (with Thorpedo Anna) and the Derby (with Mystik Dan) in the same year. Jockey Brian Hernandez, Jr., was aboard for all three wins, and he is the second rider to accomplish this feat (Issac Murphy won the Derby and Clark with Buchanan and the Oaks with Modesty in 1884).

Rattle N Roll's Clark Stakes Victory

Rattle N Roll (9-2), who didn't make it to the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) from the also-eligible list, covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:49.60 in the 150th edition of the Clark. It was just his second start of the year, with his first being a third-place finish in the Lukas Classic (G2) on Sept. 28. For his career, Rattle N Roll has an impressive record of 29-9-2-3 with earnings of more than $2.1 million for Michael Mackin's Lucky Seven Stable. In the race, Grand Aspen led the field of eight older horses with Most Wanted right beside him. Rattle N Roll raced fifth down the backstretch. Most Wanted took the lead around the far turn, but Rattle N Roll was tipped four-wide and drew even with three-sixteenths to go. The two matched strides in deep stretch before Rattle N Roll surged ahead just before the finish. Hit Show, the 3-2 favorite under Tyler Gaffalione, finished third but was disqualified to fifth for interference with Crupi in deep stretch.

Kehoe Beach's Mrs. Revere Stakes Win

Kehoe Beach went gate-to-wire in her stakes debut and won the $300,000 Mrs. Revere Stakes (G2) for 3-year-old fillies going 1 1/16 miles on the turf. Trained by Wesley Ward, she won for the third time in a row and returned $4.20 as the even-money favorite in a field of 11. Ridden by Frankie Dettori, Kehoe Beach won by 1 ¼ lengths over 34-1 longshot Pounce. "She's a super filly," Dettori said. "She's strong but has pace and is very sensible. She uses her breathing right. She knows exactly how to race which makes it a push-button ride for me. When I pushed that button, she showed a great turn of foot like she did last time."

Loved's Falls City Stakes Triumph

Loved ($10.64) won the $300,000 Falls City (G3) for fillies and mares 3 and up by 3 ¾ lengths over favorite Tarifa. The winning time for 1 1/8 miles on the turf was 1:50.17. The 5-year-old mare, ridden by Tyler Gaffalione, is trained by Brendan Walsh for Godolphin. It was a remarkable performance that showcased her strength and racing ability.

Duvet Day's Cardinal Stakes Upset

Longshot Duvet Day was taken seven wide by Flavien Prat and surged past rivals to achieve a three-quarter length victory over favorite She’s Lookin Lucky in the $300,000 Cardinal Stakes (G3). Duvet Day ($23) covered the 1 1/8 miles on turf in 1:48.79.
