Don't Tell My Wife Stables and Ocean Reef Racing

Kirk Godby co-founded Don’t Tell My Wife Stables with Rob Slack in 2010. The partnership was represented by its second Kentucky Derby starter, Confidence Game, an upset winner of the 2023 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park for trainer Keith Desormeaux and jockey James Graham. Don’t Tell My Wife Stables made its Derby debut when My Boy Jack turned in a solid performance when finishing fifth in the 2018 Derby. That colt also was trained by Desormeaux, a long-time friend and associate of Godby.

Godby spent as a groom at Louisiana Downs in 1992.
