Secretariat still holds the track record dating back to 1973. Hard to believe it’s been 48 years.
im putting 100 dollars to win on “Known Agenda”...he’ll be a nice 6 or 8 to 1...Todd Pletcher trains..and has the best jockey in the world right now, Irad Ortiz jr....
Let’s hope they don’t test the horses for Covid.
Good choice with a nice price. Hard to beat essential quality though as an unbeaten and banked 2.6m already. Both look like my exacta.
May consider the one sired by mine shaft for the tri. Tap pit, curlin and mineshaft sired.
Thanks for the post.
its def going to be a great betting race...ill be loading up on trifectas too...you’ll get some great odds on some horses that could easily win if they get a decent trip. I tend to follow the experienced jockeys in a race like this.

Soup and Sandwich to go, go, go! (again)
What’s the live attendance policy at Louisville?
Indy 500 is allowing 40% of capacity (approx 130,000 total)
Must prove vax to enter garage areas.
See: 2021 Kentucky Derby Health, Safety & Ticket Information.

Thanks. Sounds like 40-50 percent.
That should be enough to make some noise.
What points him out to you? Was it beating five other state-breds at 6 1/2 at Gulfstream; or was it beating two other Tampa Bay horses at a mile-40?

Looks like right now they have 27 horses signed up to run in the derby. How many can the gate and track actually handle? I mean the Physical gates.
IIRC they max out at 20 but not sure on the selection process.
Naturally, here in Lousyville, a black racist greoup de-maaaaaaaaanding “equity initiative” to be able to be at the Derby, calling it “an institutional obligation”, or some such black racist psychpobabble.
