Photo taken as the 14 contenders in the 2018 Blue Grass Stakes approach the first pass over the finish line. 5 are still on the top of the Kentucky Derby leaderboard. Go GoodMagic, Flameaway, Free Drop Billy, Blended Citizen and Sporting Chance! Machismo will race again, just 1 week later in the 2018 Arkansas Derby!
Happy Friday the 13th! I am tickled to think of all the peculiar betting habits and quirks I will see among the superstitious gamblers and horsemen at Keeneland today! Everyday is a good day at the track but tomorrow we will see the very last lap on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. Saturday, 4/14/18 features the final two prep races, the Lexington Stakes and the Arkansas Derby.

It’s a double Derby weekend! Louisiana has one, New Mexico has one and in just over a month, Kentucky has the Derby to top all derbies! We are really entering the final stretch as two of the last 10 KY Derby prep races take place this weekend. Derby, Derby, everywhere a Derby!
