Incredibolt

Incredibolt finished fourth in a sprint in his career debut Aug. 22, 2025, at Ellis Park, but he improved significantly in his second start when stretching out to a mile Sept. 28 at Churchill Downs, where he pulled away late to a two-length victory for trainer Riley Mott.

The dark bay or brown Bolt d’Oro colt made his stakes debut in the Street Sense Stakes Oct. 26 at Churchill and overcame a poor start with a powerful late rally to score by 1 ¾ lengths and earn 10 qualifying points for the 2026 Kentucky Derby.

Incredibolt made his much-anticipated season debut in the Grade 3 Holy Bull Stakes Jan. 31 at Gulfstream Park, but he showed little in his return from three months off. He stalked the pace from the inside in fifth but faded badly on the turn and was last of six and beaten by 25 ¼  lengths.

After the race, Mott speculated that Incredibolt did not care for the main track at Gulfstream and he shipped him to Colonial Downs for the $500,000 Virginia Derby Presented by New Kent County March 14.

Incredibolt looked like a different animal in his second start of the year, surging to the front in the stretch and extending his lead with a final eighth of a mile in :12.02 to win the 1 1/8-mile Kentucky Derby prep race in 1:47.76 and punch his ticket to Louisville.

Incredibolt was produced by the winning Awesome Again mare Sapphire Spitfire.
