Welcome to 2022 Kentucky Derby Prospect Snapshots, where we’ll take a look each week at a recent winner on the Triple Crown trail, usually from the Road to the Kentucky Derby schedule from which the race horses earn points toward qualifying.

The 1 ¼-mile Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve will be held May 7, 2022, at Churchill Downs.

Tom Pedulla presents five key takeaways from the $750,000 Cigar Mile Handicap Presented by NYRA Bets at Aqueduct and other major developments last weekend:

With less than four weeks left in 2021, no one could blame trainer Todd Pletcher for wanting another month or two tacked onto the year.

Especially after the way the seven-time Eclipse Award winner slammed down the curtain on the New York Racing Association's final three graded stakes of the year.

For those 2-year-olds who started or developed too late for the TVG Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, there’s always the Remsen Stakes.

The official last day of fall is Dec. 20. For many racing fans, however, the Cigar Mile Presented by NYRA Bets at Aqueduct on Dec. 4 marks the end of the autumn racing season. The one-mile contest is traditionally the final grade 1 race of the year in New York, and brings together some of the country’s top middle distance horses.
