The Kentucky Derby, presented by Woodford Reserve, is a top rank, Grade I stakes race for 3 year old Thoroughbred horses. The race distance is one and one-quarter miles long, and it is run on the dirt racetrack at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. Colts and geldings in the race carry 126 pounds (57 kg), and fillies in the race carry 121 pounds (55 kg). 20 horses compete in the Kentucky Derby, which is a larger field size than most horse races; where on average 8 horses race against one another. The 20 horses racing in the Kentucky Derby must first travel along the Road to the Kentucky Derby, which is a series of 35 races taking place at tracks across the country and the world. Points are awarded to the top 4 horses that finish in each of those 35 races, and the 20 horses with the most points earn a spot in the starting gate in the Kentucky Derby race. The Kentucky Derby winning purse is $2 million. The Kentucky Derby takes place on the first Saturday in May every year, and typically draws a crowd of 155,000 people. It is the longest continually held sporting event in America, and it is one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. Often called “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports”, the Kentucky Derby receives this nickname from the approximate length of time it takes the winner to run from the starting gate to the finish line. The Kentucky Derby is the first race within the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, where it is followed by the Preakness Stakes race and the Belmont Stakes race. https://secure.xbglobal.com/main.aspx

XBTV KENTUCKY DERBY<br />
WORKOUT ANALYSIS<br />
By Zoe Cadman, Milie Ball & Michelle Yu<br />
HORSE DATE TRACK DISTANCE TIME<br />
MEDINA SPIRIT 4/17 SA 5F 1:00.00 (4/43)<br />
ZOE CADMAN: Working in <strong>com</strong>pany with Paint Me Lucky (an 0-6 maiden), this was his first work<br />
back since running second in the Santa Anita <strong>Derby</strong>. The son of Protonico looked good tracking<br />
his <strong>com</strong>pany and drawing off down the lane with a bit of niggling; a solid work from a colt who<br />
leaves his heart on the track every time. Not sure the pace scenario or the distance will help this<br />
hard-trying colt, especially with several hard races of late.<br />
HIGHLY MOTIVATED 4/18 KEE 4F :47.20 (1/27)<br />
MICHELLE YU: In his normal spot inside a workmate, he was aggressive with his ears pinned, but<br />
always in hand. Highly Motivated looked super-fit and intense for the entirety.<br />
MIDNIGHT BOURBON 4/19 CD 5F :59.80 (1/13)<br />
MILLIE BALL: The video posted on social media of Midnight Bourbon getting loose on the<br />
backside April 19 (here) deserved more attention than his bullet work posted earlier that morning.<br />
It came across as rather a poorly matched, erratic team drill. Midnight Bourbon’s workmate left<br />
the pole a length in front and no sooner had his <strong>com</strong>pany begun to track in behind, the lead<br />
horse tapped on the brakes, at a crucial point, causing the whole tempo of the work to change.<br />
The Louisiana <strong>Derby</strong> runner-up got aggressive when asked to slow in order to remain in tandem,<br />
and it was all his rider could do to hold him until the stretch. It was hard to tell if horse or rider<br />
gave up the ghost, but Midnight Bourbon found his stride in the last two furlongs and, despite the<br />
expended energy, put in a decent gallop-out.<br />
MANDALOUN 4/17 CD 6F 1:11.40 (1/3)<br />
MILLIE BALL: Mandaloun’s 6-furlong breeze April 17 flashed me back to the morning of August<br />
23, 2020 when Thousand Words worked at Del Mar, 13 days prior to his intended run in the<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> <strong>Derby</strong>. Both 3-year-olds were equally aggressive leaving the pole with <strong>com</strong>pany, both<br />
riders had to lean hard against their mouths for 3 furlongs before they conceded and settled<br />
for the remainder of the work. And in both instances, it took its toll on the gallop-out with each<br />
colt needing taps from their riders to stay the course. Thousand Words’ eagerness on the Triple<br />
Crown trail was his demise, and I fear the same for Mandaloun.<br />
LIKE THE KING 4/17 KEE 6F 1:12.80 (1/3)<br />
MICHELLE YU: Working with classy <strong>com</strong>pany (Canadian sprint champ Artie’s Princess), he was<br />
ultra-aggressive in a <strong>com</strong>e-from-behind move, dragging Drayden Van Dyke even and to the front.<br />
He geared way down and the mate was asked to keep up. Not a perfect work, but done<br />
with something left.<br />
