Kentucky Derby alumni: See who's in action at Saratoga, beyond
The Derby Alumni tracker checks in with the horses who raced in the Kentucky Derby, both this year and in previous years, keeping up with what they have done since they ran for the roses.
2025 Kentucky Derby
Three runners from the Kentucky Derby have started again since the run for the roses: Journalism, Sandman and American Promise all returned in the Preakness on May 17. Journalism fared best of the three, finishing heroically to catch Gosger and win the second jewel of the Triple Crown. Sandman rallied for third, while American Promise checked in eighth.
Most of the entrants in the Kentucky Derby are back in action this Saturday. Sovereignty, Journalism and Baeza, as well as the scratched Rodriguez, will clash in the Belmont Stakes. Both Citizen Bull and Neoequos turn back in distance for the Woody Stephens (G1). Five more also turn back in distance, as well as get a drop in class, in the Matt Winn (G3) at Churchill Downs: Final Gambit, Burnham Square, East Avenue, Chunk of Gold and Coal Battle.

2024 Kentucky Derby
Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs, Mystik Dan won for the first time since capturing the blanket of roses in 2024. Coming off a second in the Lake Ouachita at Oaklawn, Mystik Dan did one better in the Blame. The trip looked eerily familiar: he tracked the pace while saving ground under Brian Hernandez Jr., got through into the lane, opened up, and kept going. However, the finish wasn’t a nail-biter like the Kentucky Derby had been: he won by a measured 1 1/4 lengths over Antiquarian.
Grand Mo the First returned to action May 24 in an allowance going 7 1/2 furlongs on the Gulfstream grass, his first start of the yeaer. Sent off the odds-on favorite, the son of Uncle Mo didn’t have the best of trips: he broke a little bit slow, and even though he was still able to get into a tracking position, he had to check in the lane. He kept coming, however, only missing catching winner Eldest Son by a neck.
Four horses from the 2024 Kentucky Derby field are scheduled to race in the coming days. Both Fierceness and Just a Touch are entered to contest the Met Mile (G1) on Saturday at Saratoga. Epic Ride is also entered in stakes company Saturday. He will go five furlongs on the Churchill Downs grass in the Mighty Beau. Catalytic, second in an allowance optional-claiming race last time out, remains at that level at Gulfstream for his race Saturday at one mile on dirt.

2023 Kentucky Derby
Two horses from the 2023 Kentucky Derby field raced in Japan recently.
Continuar returned to the winners’ circle in the Ritto Stakes, a listed race on May 18 going seven furlongs on the dirt at Kyoto. It was the shortest distance of his career, and though the public ignored him as a 40-1 long shot the son of Drefong took to it well. He saved ground just behind the leading group, had aim on leader Smart Sunny in upper stretch, drove past to that foe’s outside and scored by half a length.
Mandarin Hero contested the Oi Kinen on May 21. The race was his first start since November, and perhaps he needed it. He was never involved, and finished 13th in the field of 15.

2022 Kentucky Derby
Ethereal Road returned to action May 18 in a $16,000 claiming race at Churchill Downs going 1 1/16 miles on the dirt. He was left near the rear of the field of six after checking early. Ethereal Road made an honest rally in the lane but couldn’t quite catch the rest; he checked in fourth, but beaten only a length. He was claimed out of the race by trainer Joe Sharp for new owner TEC Racing.
Two horses from the 2022 Kentucky Derby field are entered to race in the coming days. White Abarrio, unraced since winning the Ghostzapper (G3) in March, returns in Saturday’s Met Mile, a race in which he ran third in 2023. Tiz the Bomb, who makes his first start since an eighth-place run in a starter allowance at Gulfstream in December, drops to the $7,500 claiming level for a 1 1/16 mile race on the dirt at Penn National on Thursday evening.

2021 Kentucky Derby
Like the King made his 7-year-old debut in a 7 1/2-furlong turf allowance at Gulfstream Park on May 24, the same race in which 2024 alumnus Grand Mo the First made his seasonal debut. Like the King settled at the rear after checking early, but could only run on evenly in the lane and settled for fourth, 4 1/4 lengths behind the winner Eldest Son.
Brooklyn Strong raced twice within the last month. First, he contested a $16,000 claiming race at 1 1/16 miles on the Penn National on May 16. He settled well off the pace in the field of five, and though he was not able to reel in the more forwardly placed Styner, he finished with good interest and rallied for second, 6 3/4 lengths behind the winner. Brooklyn Strong returned to the track at Parx on Monday for a $15,000 claiming race at the same 1 1/16-mile distnace on dirt. He was wide into the first turn, worked a place tracking in the second flight, but had no response when asked on the far turn and flattened out to finish sixth behind Hey Porter.

2020 Kentucky Derby
Enforceable made his second start of the year May 11 in the Clásico La Copa at Monterrico. He was keen to the early lead, and carried a clear lead for much of the race. He was headed past the five-sixteenths, and though he continued to battle into upper stretch, he flattened out through the final furlong and had to settle for third behind Gluck.

Kentucky Gov Clowns Ted Cruz for Getting Duped By European Pic: ‘Sorry For Missing This… Been Busy Leading My State’
(Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images)
Gov. Andy Beshear (D-KY) had a laugh at Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) expense over a fake X post accusing the governor of being out of town during the massive winter storm that brought dangerous amounts of snow and ice to many parts of the U.S.
Cruz posted a “thinking” emoji along with a retweet of a post by the Kentucky Freedom Coalition showing Beshear and his wife posing in front of a church in Europe.
The account, that’s also followed by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) posted, “The liberal media went wild when Ted Cruz wasn’t in Texas for the major freeze a few years back. Well, Kentucky is in a declared emergency and @AndyBeshearKYis touring Europe. The media won’t say a word though.”
Beshear responded, “Sorry for missing this earlier, @tedcruz. Been busy leading my state’s emergency response all day. From Kentucky.”
Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake added some additional context, writing, “This photo of Beshear in Europe is a full week old. He gave a briefing in Kentucky today.”
According to WKYT, Beshear spent last week in Europe “with a delegation from Team Kentucky, attending the World Economic Forum and meeting with company leaders in Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland.”
Cruz famously received massive backlash in 2021 after escaping to sunny Cancun as a brutal winter storm left millions of his constituents “stranded in sub-freezing temperatures without electricity and water,” according to The Hill.
The contrite senator returned to Texas within 24-hours of being spotted on his travels. Cruz eventually apologized, saying, “It was obviously a mistake, and in hindsight, I wouldn’t have done it.”
This week, as Texas braced once again for an onslaught of weather, a Texas political strategist posted, “Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.”
Of the California trip, a Cruz spokesperson told KXAN that the work trip “was scheduled weeks in advance.”
The spokesperson continued, “He will be back in Texas before the storm is projected to hit.”
Cruz posted that he did, in fact, return to Texas the day before the storm hit.
This isn’t the first time Cruz has been called out for retweeting a fake post. In 2023, Cruz shared an image of what looked like a shark swimming on a flooded highway in Los Angeles.

The Kentucky Wildcats have some momentum, which seems like a crazy thing to say after where this team was to begin conference play.
The Cats have been playing well, and actually are tied for second in the league following a wild day of SEC basketball yesterday.
However, the Cats will face a pair of big tests this week. The Cats go on the road Tuesday to take on Vanderbilt, who ended their three-game losing skid yesterday by demolishing Mississippi State in Starkville by a score of 88-56. The Commodores were once 16-0 and ranked in the top 10 nationally. They average 90 points per game, so Tuesday night’s showdown in Nashville will be a tall task for the Cats.
Then Kentucky travels to Fayetteville for a matchup with John Calipari’s Arkansas Razorbacks next Saturday. The game won’t have quite the same emotion as Calipari’s return to Rupp Arena last year, but it still holds some extra meaning, at least to the fanbase.
The Hogs have one of the best freshmen in the country in Darius Acuff, who averages nearly 20 points and 6 assists per game. Acuff scored 31 in yesterday’s win at LSU.
In a perfect world, Kentucky wins both of these matchups, but they’ll most likely enter as underdogs in both. If they somehow manage to win both, it would be a major boost for this team and open up conversations about what this team’s ceiling actually is.
If Kentucky could manage to split these two games, I think it would be considered a success considering the level these teams have played at and both being on the road.
How are you feeling heading into this week?
All of us jumped out of our seats when he made that shot!
Still a really good crowd at Rupp despite the incoming weather.
Maybe we’ll see them back on the bench soon.
That stretch when he came in was a difference-maker.
There was the airball, and he never really got going.
A big milestone for Rick.
The AFC North will have 3 new coaches next season.
It seems like KAT and the Knicks are heading toward a split.
He’s about to earn a big payday.
One of the wildest things I’ve seen.
