all in Triple Crown

The Arkansas Road to the 2025 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve continues with the Southwest Stakes and gives 3-year-olds a million reasons to chase their Triple Crown dreams — just like Mystik Dan did last year when he won the Southwest en route to his run for the roses triumph.

Outsprinted early and fanned exceptionally wide entering the long Fair Grounds stretch, Disco Time found his groove and rallied from 10th in a field of 13 to outkick Gun Runner Stakes winner Built by a neck to win the $250,000 Grade 3 Lecomte Stakes for 3-year-olds Jan.

Prep season for the 151st Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is well underway, and there’ll be little letup over the next three-plus months until the first leg of the Triple Crown is run May 3 at Churchill Downs.

With two seconds and a third in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve since 2018, trainer Chad Brown has high standards for his top 3-year-olds.

After a weekend in horse racing affected by weather conditions coast to coast, the activity picks back up to a large extent on the upcoming extended holiday weekend, with Fair Grounds hosting a Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve prep race on Saturday, Jan. 18, and several other tracks re-opening.
