SARATOGA SPRINGS — Fillies don’t win the Kentucky Derby much. It has happened only four times, and none since Winning Colors did it in 1981. But if history is turned on its head in 2019, y’all should remember the afternoon that Wesley Ward took the blinders off Stillwater Cove at the Spa. Ward does not […] More
The final chapter of the 2018 Triple Crown is here as the Belmont Stakes is set for this Saturday. If Justify can’t win it, who is the next best bet? More
Trainer Bob Baffert won the 2015 Triple Crown with American Pharoah and he’s guardedly optimistic that Justify can do the same. “You have to prepare yourself for disappointment,” Baffert told reporters last week. “We were quietly confident (with American Pharoah), but you still have to do it.

Justify is looking to make history next Saturday at the 150th Belmont Stakes.

On June 9, Justify will aim to be the 13th horse to win the Triple Crown. A win would cement his legacy as one of the top racehorses ever, but winning all three legs of the Triple Crown is notoriously difficult. Before American Pharoah did it in 2015, 13 horses won the Kentucky Derby and […] More
The oddsmakers are in total agreement that we are very likely to see just the second horse in the last 40 years, win the Triple Crown in 2018. Justify who easily won the Kentucky Derby and won the 143rd running of the Preakness by half a length is an even money favorite to win this […] More
The traffic has cleared for Justify, but the rain keeps pouring down. Both are very good signs for this horse. After emerging from the Kentucky Derby crowd to win impressively on a sloppy track, Justify will race against only seven other horses in the Preakness Stakes in Baltimore. Naturally this Triple Crown hopeful is a […] More

However, with six of the eight horses listed with odds of 16-1 or more to win the race, there is still plenty of money to be made. Justify […] More
