Highwaytothemoon, winner of the Plate Trial, drew post 8 and could find himself in an important tactical position in a field without an obvious dedicated front-runner. Brachetto, the Grade 3 Marine winner, drew post 9 and is the second choice on the morning line at 5-1. Dixie Law, runner-up in the Woodbine Oaks, starts from post 5 at 10-1.

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale is joined by NBC Sports contributor Randy Moss to go over some of the major changes that have recently been announced inside of the Triple Crown Series in horse racing.
Earlier this week, Churchill Downs and the New York Racing Association announced that they would team to present a six-race series spanning from May to November with the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes serving as part of this new series for 3 year olds. The announcement brought to question to fate and state of the Preakness Stakes, which for long has been scrutinized for its close proximity to the Kentucky Derby on the racing calendar. Soon after Churchill Downs and NYRA announced the new series, Maryland governor Wes Moore announced that the Preakness Stakes would be moved to 22 days after the running of the Kentucky Derby in the hopes that the Derby runner would take a shot at the Triple Crown. But with this new series in the fold on the stakes schedule, the placement and status of the Preakness currently sits in jeopardy.
Randy Moss joins PTF to break down the happenings behind the scenes of the Triple Crown for the last few years. Randy, a longtime advocate for adjusting the timing of the races on the Triple Crown, goes over the feuds between tracks and organizations that have stymied any remedy to the Triple Crown, which itself has struggled as a series in recent years with the Kentucky Derby winner opting off the trail entirely over the last two years. Both winners, Kentucky Derby 2025 champ Sovereignty and Kentucky Derby 2026 champ Golden Tempo, resurfaced to race in the Belmont Stakes and win, spurring further controversy about the value of the Triple Crown since both horses had just the Preakness Stakes missing from their resumes.

Michael breaks down where each of these horses might land on the road to Keeneland, which trips suit, and the Win-and-You're-In picture across the meeting. Essential viewing for handicappers, bettors, and anyone following European Breeders' Cup form lines through the summer.
Royal Ascot 2026, reviewed through advanced sectional data. Total Performance Data analyst Adam Mills joins In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale to break down the meeting's biggest performances — finishing speeds, top speed, stride length and stride frequency — and what the numbers reveal about the road to the 2026 Breeders' Cup at Keeneland. We dig into the puzzling Queen Anne Stakes and Ten Bob Tony's 50/1 shock, explain exactly what "finishing speed" measures and why US dirt and European turf races run so differently, then turn to the Win-and-You're-In angles: Mission Central in the King Charles III Stakes, Ombudsman's monster Prince of Wales's Stakes repeat, and the gamble of the week — Bacio and Wesley Ward's electric sprint in the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Throughout, the conversation is about cross-form clues: which Ascot winners actually project to Keeneland, and which might get found out around a bend. A must-listen for handicappers, data-driven bettors, and anyone tracking the 2026 Breeders' Cup form lines.

In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by handicapper and horseplayer Nick Tammaro to take a look back at a loaded weekend of horse racing action from the Belmont Stakes Festival meeting at Saratoga!
The pair go over some of the highlight stakes performances from the weekend and of course later discuss how the 3-year-old division is shaping since Kentucky Derby 2026 winner Golden Tempo proved his last-to-first rally was no fluke by winning Belmont Stakes 2026 over Commandment and Renegade, who was foiled as the favorite in both the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes. Trainer Cherie DeVaux again made history by winning two of the three jewels of horse racing's Triple Crown and becoming the second woman to ever train a winner in the Belmont Stakes, the first being Jena Antonucci when Arcangelo won Belmont Stakes 2023. The pair of wins in the Triple Crown by Golden Tempo again raises the discussion on whether the string of the Triple Crown as we know it is a viable series under current training standards and preferences, sparking debate that comes down to whether the history and pageantry of the Triple Crown should be set aside to create a run of races that attracts the modern thoroughbred stars and sustains the national audience that the Triple Crown tends to draw every single year.
PTF wrote more about the state of the American Triple Crown and what the sport can do about it over on At The Races: https://www.attheraces.com/belmont-stakes-racing-festival-at-saratoga/should-the-timing-of-the-us-triple-crown-be-changedDon't forget also about the biggest handicapping contest of the Monmouth Park year this Saturday, June 13 — the $2,000 Pick Your Prize Handicapping Challenge.

Nick joined this morning by Racing TV’s Lydia Hislop to reflect on the Betfred Derby Festival. They start with the controversial decision by the stewards to declare Benvenuto Cellini, the Derby favourite, a non-runner after getting his foot caught up in the stalls and crossing the line in 10th place. Simon Nott, who was reporting for Star Sports from the betting ring on the day, explained how this all went down and how punters were affected.

The Triple Crown season in horse racing is nearing a wrap with the concluding event, the Belmont Stakes, attracting many runners from Kentucky Derby 2026 including last-to-first winner Golden Tempo, who also recently finalized a stud deal with Lane's End once his time on the racetrack has finished. Several other Kentucky Derby runners hopped over Preakness 2026 to target the Belmont Stakes including Mike Repole's runner Renegade, who finished second to Golden Tempo in Kentucky Derby 2026. A pair of Preakness 2026 runners in Ocelli and Chip Honcho are also probable to compete in this year's Belmont Stakes as well as Kentucky Derby runners Potente, Chief Wallabee, Commandment and Emerging Market. Chief Wallabee will give hall of fame trainer Bill Mott a chance to score back-to-back victories in the Belmont Stakes after he famously skipped Preakness 2025 with Kentucky Derby 2025 winner Sovereignty before winning Belmont Stakes 2025 in a romp over eventual Dubai World Cup champion Magnitude. Saratoga Race Course, traditionally the go-to horse racing meet of the summer on the East Coast, hosts the Belmont Stakes for the last time as renovations near completion on Belmont Racetrack, which also readies to host the Breeders' Cup come 2027 with its modernized grandstand and upgraded racetrack.

PTF sits down with Paul Halloran, author of the new book about Cody's Wish. Cody Dorman's story captivated the nation as the racehorse Cody's Wish rose to prominence. Cody met the foal in 2018 through Make-a-Wish, and the owners named the horse after Cody after seeing their connection. Cody traveled across the country to watch the horse run, drawing national attention.Cody saw Cody’s Wish win a Breeders’ Cup race at Keeneland in 2022 and was at Santa Anita in 2023 when the horse ended his career with a thrilling victory. The next day, on the flight home, Cody fell asleep on his mother’s shoulder and did not wake up. While his death caused immeasurable sadness, those close to him were comforted that he was there for his horse right to the end.This is a story of resilience, triumph, and love—of the inexplicable yet undeniable bond between a courageous boy and the champion racehorse he considered his best friend. And it is a story that is still unfolding, with a life-size monument at Kentucky Horse Park debuting in 2025 and the first crop of Cody's Wish foals heading to the yearling sales in 2026, to race as two-year-olds in 2027.

100 years after her grandmother started Phipps Stables, Daisy Phipps hoisted the Kentucky Derby trophy last weekend! Hear from her here!
After news that Cherie DeVaux, the first woman to ever train a winner of the Kentucky Derby, decided to skip Preakness 2026 with Kentucky Derby 2026 champion Golden Tempo, conversations in horse racing have again circulated about whether the current state of the Triple Crown is broken or not.
In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits with NBC's Randy Moss to talk about the scheduling of the Triple Crown races. Many trainers have expressed disinterest and concern in bringing horses out of the Kentucky Derby back to the track in two weeks to compete in the Preakness Stakes, held traditionally at Pimlico Racecourse but to be contested this year at Laurel Park while Pimlico undergoes renovations. And yet, many trainers including Kentucky Derby 2025 champ Bill Mott have opted to go from the Kentucky Derby to the third jewel of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, which Sovereignty did win with ease over Journalism - a horse who competed in all three legs of the Triple Crown in 2025 including a win in Preakness 2025. Some horses have taken the test unburdened even in defeat, but trainers remain hesitant in the modern age to risk their runners in the Preakness.
So what has to change? Does the Triple Crown necessarily have to change? The Triple Crown in horse racing has always been an elusive and difficult prize but is that reason enough to maintain the current schedule which does not even excite trainers to send their prospects down the Triple Crown trail? The Triple Crown traditionally has been a five-week turnaround between the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes, but would adding more time between those races encourage trainers to participate and help reignite energy for the spectacle, or is it all just bells and whistles? PTF and Randy Moss discuss the issues with the current state of the Triple Crown in horse racing and discuss what options exist around its current dysfunction.
In The Money Media's late-week Players' Podcast is back with another episode filled with great insight on the weekend's horse racing action! On the tail of a historic Kentucky Derby and now in the throes of a Triple Crown season raising debates once again, Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) takes a detour to look at some of the other wonderful racing happening this Saturday (May 9) including the opening day of action at the heart of the Jersey Shore, Monmouth Park! Brian Skirka from Monmouth joins the show first to talk with PTF about the day and the season at Monmouth Park, and later in the show PTF sits with Jonathon Kinchen (JK) to take a deeper dive into the opening day card at Monmouth. The late-week show wraps with the Woodbine segment where PTF sits with Breeders' Cup Betting Challenge champion Drew Coatney to go over bets and wagering strategies for the races on Saturday at Woodbine.

As we approach the next jewel of horse racing's Triple Crown and a loaded summer of stakes racing, In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) looks to grab all of the data he can from this year's Kentucky Derby to get a better understanding of who might be the strongest coming out of the race and who may have had an easier time in the Run for the Roses.
PTF sits with Adam Mills from Total Performance Data to break down the metrics from this year's running of the Kentucky Derby! They analyze horses' speed through the race, stride length and more to figure out which horses put in strong performances on the First Saturday in May.
This information will go a long way since Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo, trained by the first woman to win the Derby Cherie DeVaux, is currently considering a start in the Preakness Stakes. Many of the other horses from the Kentucky Derby will reemerge later in the summer with Saratoga right around the corner, so the data broken down in this video also gives a sense of who could be a major contender for Belmont Stakes 2026, the third leg of the Triple Crown, or even other major races on the year like the Jim Dandy and the mid-summer Derby, the Travers Stakes at Saratoga.

A pair of horses have also ALREADY SCRATCHED from the Kentucky Derby: Arkansas Derby runner-up Silent Tactic and 2026 Jeff Ruby Steaks winner Fulleffort, meaning two also eligibles are in the field at the time of recording: Great White, winner of the 2026 John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway Park, and Ocelli, the third-place finisher in the 2026 Wood Memorial. Some other horses are currently also taking solid early play including one of the representatives from Japan, Danon Bourbon - winner of the 2026 Fukuryu Stakes at Nakayama Racecourse. Chad Brown's representative in Emerging Market, a horse invoking the infamous "Apollo Curse" being unraced as a 2-year-old and making just his third start of his career into the Kentucky Derby, is also drawing a lot of action in the windows. Along with the winner of the 2026 Louisiana Derby, defending Kentucky Derby champion Bill Mott sends a horse also receiving play in Chief Wallabee, who finished third in the Florida Derby behind Commandment and The Puma and will add blinkers heading into the 152nd Run for the Roses.

Get ready for this quick bonus segment of the 2026 Kentucky Derby Monster Podcast from In The Money Media with Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) joined by Eric DeCoster to talk about one of the also eligibles that drew into the race, Great White.
After the sensational story of Rich Strike drawing into the Kentucky Derby from the also eligible list and scoring the largest upset of the race's history in the 2022 Kentucky Derby, PTF wanted to ensure that every horse on the also eligible list coming into Kentucky Derby 2026 had some analysis at the ready.
Great White is a gelding by Volatile and is currently the second richest foal from Volatile behind the sprinter Faust. He's out of the Uncle Mo mare Kelly Bag, who raced a few times before hitting the breeding shed as a maiden. Distance will be a question mark for Great White, who will have many lengths to find after his fifth-place finish behind Further Ado in the 2026 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, which earned him just enough points to land into this lucky spot in the Kentucky Derby starting gate since he only accrued a handful of points with his win in the John Battaglia Memorial at Turfway Park. He's trained by John Ennis and slated to ride is Alex Achard.
Get ready for the 2026 Kentucky Derby with expert insights from In The Money Media!

Grade 1 Gamble Recap - John Gaspar hosts Dave Nichols AGAIN

Tom in for Nick and joined by senior writer at the Racing Post Lee Mottershead. We initially discuss two key bits of news that broke yesterday. First, trainer Evan Williams being sentenced to three years in prison having been found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm. Second, the news that Laafi has indeed been disqualified from the race in which he finished first past the post at Aintree and we ask whether or not it would be preferable to DQ horses on the day. Trainer Oliver Greenall gives his view and also talks of a new syndicate venture he and Josh Guerriero are rolling out. We hear from Charlie Poste who has more horses going through the ring today at Tattersalls Craven Breeze Up Sale and he also touches on rider Sam Lee whose funeral it is today. With that in mind and in response to the Sky News feature on jockey mental health, Nick is joined by chief executive of the IJF Lisa Hancock who speaks of all the work they do on this front. Newbury's George Hill gives an update on the latest conditions at the track which throw Constitution Hill's participation in the John Porter into doubt.

Join host PTF alongside broadcaster Michelle Yu, Churchill Downs oddsmaker Nick Tammaro and Fox Sports Chris Fallica as they circle round robin through the field to pick their top choices for the 2026 Kentucky Derby.
The field is pretty much set for the First Saturday in May with some noteworthy defections thus far being Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Ted Noffey and Risen Star Stakes winner Paladin.

Todd Pletcher eyes another win in the Run for the Roses, and a first for business magnate Mike Repole, with Arkansas Derby winner Renegade. A rare runner not from Bob Baffert emerged as victor of the Santa Anita Derby with Mark Glatt's pupil So Happy fronting the California charge while the precocious Louisiana Derby winner Emerging Market currently sits eighth on the leaderboard, with the Kentucky Derby likely to be just the third start in his career.
Other runners currently slated for the Kentucky Derby include: Jeff Ruby Steaks winner Fulleffort Florida Derby runner-up The Puma Southwest Stakes champ Silent Tactic Wood Memorial winner Albus Santa Anita Derby runner-up Potente (trained by one Mr. Bob Baffert) Louisiana Derby runner-up Pavlovian, Wood Memorial runner-up Right To Party (conditioned by Ken McPeek, trainer of 2024 Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan) Virginia Derby winner Incredibolt Lecomte Stakes winner Golden Tempo Blue Grass Stakes runner-up Ottinho Jeff Ruby Steaks runner-up Stark Contrast Gotham Stakes winner Iron Honor and Florida Derby third-place finisher Chief Wallabee, trained by last year's winning Kentucky Derby trainer Bill Mott.

Dive into expert analysis of the 2025 Japan Cup on this special episode of In the Money Media, hosted by Mikee P with international racing insiders Klaus Ebner and Alex Henry. Get sharp handicapping insights, pace projections, key contenders to watch, and an on-the-ground perspective from Japan’s premier racing event. Perfect for horseplayers, global racing fans, and anyone looking for smart, data-driven coverage of one of the world’s richest and most prestigious turf races.
🔎 2025 Japan Cup: Contenders to WatchMasquerade Ball* Coming off a win in the Tenno Sho (Autumn) — arguably the most important autumn G1 in Japan — puts him in top form. * At 3 years old, he carries less weight and brings fresh energy to the 2400 m test. * If he handles the step up in distance well, he could be primed to complete the “Autumn double.”
Danon Decile* A top-tier Japanese older-horse candidate returning after a break; slated as one of the main challengers. * Previously showed high-class form and could be dangerous if returning to peak fitness.
Croix du Nord* 2025 winner of the Japanese Derby — proven over Tokyo’s 2400 m and familiar with big-race pressure. * Though his effort abroad in Europe was underwhelming, the return to familiar terrain and firm footing could bring out his best — making him a serious threat.
Calandagan (International Challenger)* The leading European invader for 2025: winner of multiple G1s overseas and rated as one of the world’s top horses. * If he adapts to Tokyo’s turf and handles travel/trip well, he could rewrite recent history — though no non-Japanese horse has won the Japan Cup since 2005.
Other Interesting Outsiders / Dark-Horse Picks* Among those to keep an eye on are horses like Admire Terra, who has shown competitive form this season and could surprise if the pace gets honest. * As always, a longshot with tactical speed or late-running punch could shake up the board — making depth of coverage essential for bettors and fans alike.

In Episode 93 of JK + 1, Jonathon Kinchen sits down with Ian Sambor, the Executive Producer of Netflix’s brand-new documentary series Race for the Crown, debuting globally on April 22. Sambor, whose impressive credits include King of Collectibles: The Goldin Touch and the Emmy-winning Shark Tank, joins JK to discuss the making of this highly anticipated deep dive into the high-stakes world of professional horse racing.
Race for the Crown comes from the same production team that brought you Formula 1: Drive to Survive and follows owners, trainers, and jockeys through a full Grade I stakes season—culminating in the legendary Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. With unprecedented access and cinematic storytelling, the six-episode docuseries takes viewers behind the scenes of the “most exciting two minutes in sports” and far beyond, offering a raw and riveting look at what it takes to chase glory in one of the most tradition-rich and grueling sports on earth.
Sambor talks with JK about the inspiration for the series, the challenges of capturing such a fast-moving and emotionally charged sport, and his hopes for how the show will shine a new light on horse racing's passionate community. They also reflect on the larger-than-life personalities within the industry—including billionaire owners like Michael Repole and Michael Iavarone—and the courage and dedication of the featured jockeys like Irad Ortiz Jr., Frankie Dettori, Javier Castellano, John Velazquez, Katie Davis, Umberto Rispoli, and many more.
Together, they explore how Race for the Crown captures the essence of the sport: a mix of heart-pounding competition, generational legacy, and the relentless pursuit of one nearly impossible goal—winning the Triple Crown. With only 13 horses in history ever having completed the feat, the stakes are always sky-high and the stories are as compelling as any in sports.
This episode also highlights the human side of racing, including the camaraderie, the sacrifice, and the hope that drives everyone involved—from those training in the early morning light to the owners gambling millions on potential greatness.
Don’t miss this in-depth conversation as JK and Ian go beyond the camera lens to talk storytelling, legacy, and the power of great people doing great things in a great sport!

For seven racing seasons we watched the fiery, sometimes cantankerous, chestnut gelding named Whitmore blitz down the racetrack. We all cheered him on as he finally got his Breeder's Cup win in his fourth try at the ripe age of seven. But did you know that when he came to the track as a two year old it took him nearly two months to be able to just canter around the track? He would likely have never gotten to all those winners circles without the horsemanship and guidance of Laura Moquett. Now she is guiding him through his second career off track.
