138th RUNNING OF THE KENTUCKY DERBY/OAKS
I put this post together to catalog my research about the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, and to make my review up to the big races easier. It is divided basically by:
Runners - which focuses on each Derby Horse, his workouts, and replays of his races.
Workouts - Recorded workouts for each hose
Derby Preps - Replays
Handicapper Reports
Kentucky Oaks News (includes individual filly info)
Two Year Old Races (Juvenile history)
Kentucky Derby media schedule
Wall to wall racing coverage over two days -- first time in years!! Thank you, NBC!
Here's Lenny and Steve giving their final wrap before the Derby, with a "live" audience!
Hope it will be helpful to you. It is a work in progress, and I will be making changes and adding info up to the big races on Friday and Saturday, May 4 and 5.
