Arkansas owners of Mystik Dan look back on big Kentucky Derby win

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KAIT/KARK) – An Arkansas horse managed to win it all in a photo finish during the 150th Kentucky Derby on Saturday.

Champion Mystik Dan has strong ties to Arkansas, with its owners, the Gasaways and Hambys, coming from the Natural State.

Sharilyn Gasaway told content partner KARK that Mystik Dan’s personality sets him apart. She pointed to his calmness which makes him different.

“Our trainer calls him an old soul,” she said. “When it was time for the walkover, he was cool, calm as could be. I think that played to his advantage.”

Gasaway said many are asking what the next step is for their family, specifically Mystik Dan following the big win on May 4.

The horse’s trainer is still determining his recovery rate and if he could be ready for Preakness, the next significant race in two weeks. Gasaway said the next big race, Belmont, which is a few weeks after, is a realistic step they will take, whether they compete in Preakness or not.

Watch: Blast brings down Northern Kentucky bridge

COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.

Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.

“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”

The Licking River Bridge is now history after crews brought it down with a controlled demolition Monday morning. (WKRC)

Crews will begin construction on the new bridge after debris removal is complete. The replacement bridge is expected to open in the summer of 2028.
