Things could get interesting Saturday at Churchill Downs, where the winners in 2019 and 2021 were disqualified.
The biggest question for these 3-year-olds is whether they can handle running 1 1/4 miles while jostling for position in front of the biggest crowd they'll ever see and hear.
"It would mean everything," said Brown, who has had his own stable for 15 years."It's so hard to get these Derby horses, especially the favorite." In 2019, winner Maximum Security was disqualified for interference and Country House wore the garland of red roses.In 2020, an eerie silence enveloped the track when no fans were allowed because of the pandemic and the race was pushed back to September. Last year, the Derby returned to its usual spot on the first Saturday in May with attendance limited to about 52,000.
The 148th Derby is missing horse racing's household name: Bob Baffert. The Hall of Fame trainer with a record-tying six victories was banned by Churchill Downs this year and next after last year's winner, Medina Spirit, flunked a post-race drug test. "If I can knock out a good clean trip for him then inexperience won't get in the way so much," Smith said.
