Leading Change won his career debut at first asking with a big debut victory by 6 1/2 lengths atop a 10-horse field going seven furlongs at Churchill Downs on June 7, 2026. Leading Change wasted no time going up into stakes company and was immediately successful in his second start when victorious in the Grade 3 $300,000 Indiana Derby going 1 1/16 miles on July 11. Sent off as the heavy favorite on the tote board in a six-horse field in the Indiana Derby under jockey Irad Ortiz Jr., Leading Change pressed the pace throughout, took over in the stretch, and held off a late bid by runner-up Our Moneyman to prevail by a neck.
Leading Charge is trained by Brad Cox. He was bred in Kentucky by the sire Gun Runner out of the dam Starship Warpspeed by Congrats.
