all in Triple Crown

Welcome to 2024 Kentucky Derby Prospect Profiles, where we’ll take a look each week at a recent winner on the Triple Crown trail, usually from races on the Road to the Kentucky Derby schedule that offer qualifying points for the first leg in the series. The 1 ¼-mile Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve will be held May 4, 2024, at Churchill Downs.

The $1 million, Grade 2 Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds is a pivotal stop on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. The 1 3/16-mile race awards Kentucky Derby qualification points on a 100-50-25-15-10 basis to its top five finishers, and over the past decades it’s produced 33 Kentucky Derby starters led by Derby winners Country House (2019) and Mandaloun (2021).

Senor Buscador’s stunning emergence in the $20 million Saudi Cup provides a vivid reminder about one of the keys to racing success. If ever there was a horse that embodies the value of patience, this hard-trying 6-year-old son of Mineshaft is it.

Welcome to the calm before the storm.
