Official Triple Crown Nominations List 2025: Who will we see in the Kentucky Derby?
Who will we see in the Kentucky Derby? This early Triple Crown nominations list holds many of their names.
Kentucky Derby
Horse Profile: Geoglyph
Geoglyph at least sports a lot of back class, having beaten future great Equinox in the first jewel of the Japanese Triple Crown in 2022.
Horse
Kentucky Derby pedigree profile: Speed King
Speed King lived up to his name in the 1 1/16-mile Southwest (G3) on the Road to the Kentucky Derby, leading all the way to win the $1 million race by one length.

Pedigree notebook: Still more to come from Arrogate’s last crop
This Saturday’s Pegasus World Cup (G1) brings back memories of champion Arrogate, who blasted to a new track record in the 2017 edition at Gulfstream Park.
Racing
Horse Profile: The Waco Kid
Palmer’s other runner, The Waco Kid, comes off a front-running coup in the Somerville Tattersall (G3) at Newmarket. If that career high may have been aided by soft going, he has also won on good-to-firm, and his pedigree is favorable for adapting to Del Mar.
Horse
Horses to follow in 2025: Just a Touch
Just a Touch hasn’t been seen since last summer, but the runner-up to Sierra Leone in the 2024 Blue Grass (G1) brings plenty of upside into his four-year-old season.

Horses to follow in 2025: Raqiya
While Todd Pletcher has the likes of Fierceness, Locked, and Mindframe in his arsenal for 2025, the Hall of Fame trainer picked up a fascinating new turf recruit in Raqiya.

El Encinal was on an upward curve in Argentina as a sophomore in the second half of 2023.

Remember Senza Parole, the sensational debut winner at Saratoga who was sure to be the red-hot favorite in the Frizette (G1)?
Racing
Finding Kentucky Derby Horses in Hidden Places
The path to the First Saturday in May at Churchill Downs goes through the Road to the Kentucky Derby challenge series.
Racing
Horse Profile: Whistlejacket
As the only Group 1 winner in the field, with high speed that hasn’t quite lasted over stiffer tracks, Whistlejacket makes a lot of sense on the cutback at Del Mar.
Horse
Horse Profile: Diego Velazquez
Before the Saratoga Derby (G1) fell victim to a weather postponement, Diego Velazquez was being mentioned as a possible candidate for Australia’s Cox Plate (G1).
Horse
Horse Profile: Ten Happy Rose
After a 207-1 shock in the “Win and You’re In” Victoria Mile (G1), Ten Happy Rose would be easy to discount.
Horse
Horse Profile: Porta Fortuna
Runner-up by a half-length in last year’s Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita, Porta Fortuna returns stateside with a glittering resume.
Horse
Horse Profile: Notable Speech
Godolphin trainer Charlie Appleby bids for an unprecedented fourth straight Mile trophy, relying this time on Notable Speech.
Breeders Cup
Horse Profile: Meta Max
Owned by Susumu Fujita, who sponsors the Sprint through his Cygames company, Meta Max is likely to be an anticlimax after Fujita’s Forever Young contests the Classic.
International
Horse Profile: Don Frankie
As a confirmed front runner, Don Frankie promises to add fuel to the pace fire in the Sprint.
Horse
Horse Profile: South American imports
South American imports Mufasa and Full Serrano have done enough stateside to gauge their ability.
Horse
Horse Profile: Remake
With a superabundance of early speed on tap, deep-closing Remake will get the right set-up if he can mobilize quickly enough down the Del Mar stretch.
Horse
Horse Profile: Soprano
Soprano faces an obvious distance question here. The prospect of a strenuous pace will ruthlessly expose any stamina limitations.
Racing
Horse Profile: Beach Bomb
A homebred for Gaynor Rupert’s Drakenstein Stud, Beach Bomb now runs in the name of its British arm, Cayton Park Stud.
Breeders Cup
Horse Profile: Cinderella’s Dream and Beautiful Love
The Godolphin duo can be judged on their respective efforts in New York, but it might help to view them through the international lens.
Racing
Horse Profile: Content
Content returns with an enhanced profile after landing the “Win and You’re In” Yorkshire Oaks (G1).
International
Horse Profile: Ushba Tesoro
Fifth in last year’s Classic at Santa Anita, Ushba Tesoro hopes for better luck with the venue switch to Del Mar.
Horse
Horse Profile: Forever Young
Trained by international maestro Yoshito Yahagi, Forever Young has the advantage of being proven in U.S. conditions.
Horse
Horse Profile: Wingspan
As a gritty front runner, Wingspan will be prominent for a long way, but her efforts might ultimately play into the hands of venerable stablemate Luxembourg.
Horse
Horse Profile: Jayarebe
Trainer Brian Meehan has won the Turf twice with relative outsiders, and Jayarebe will try to give him a third.
Horse
Horse Profile: Luxembourg
If the erstwhile glamor colt doesn’t occupy the same Ballydoyle pedestal as in former years, Luxembourg remains a threat when he lands in the right spot to do himself justice.
Horse
Horse Profile: Rousham Park
If Shahryar is the well-traveled Japanese contender with all of the requisite credentials, Rousham Park is the up-and-comer with a world of potential
Horse
Horse Profile: Rebel’s Romance
Godolphin’s 2022 Turf hero has regrouped from a star-crossed 2023 and arrives with strong claims to regain his crown
Racing
Horse Profile: Shahryar
A terrific third at 25-1 in last year’s Turf despite a last-prep hiccup, Shahryar returns off a smoother build-up to try again.
Horse
Horse Profile: Alice Verite
Having raced exclusively on the Japanese turf so far, Alice Verite had the Filly & Mare Turf as her first preference at the pre-entry stage.
Horse
Horse Profile: Che Evasora
Che Evasora’s flop in her stateside prep in the Zenyatta (G2) did nothing to answer the question marks about her Breeders’ Cup potential.
Horse
Horse Profile: Starlust
As a close third to Big Evs in last year’s Juvenile Turf Sprint at odds of 24-1, Starlust is proven in stateside conditions
Horse
Horse Profile: Star of Mystery
By Kodiac, Star of Mystery is a half-sister to two North American Grade 1 winners for Charlie Appleby, Althiqa and Mysterious Night.
Horse
Horse Profile: Awesome Result
Awesome Result captured the same prep that launched Marche Lorraine, who upset the 2021 Distaff at Del Mar for Japan.
Horse
Horse Profile: Bradsell
One year after being scratched from the Turf Sprint, Bradsell returns with an enhanced portfolio as Europe’s leading five-furlong performer.
Horse
Horse Profile: Believing
Believing is the lone international of that demographic this year, and like Glass Slippers, she has experience around a turn.
Racing
Horse Profile: Big Evs
Big Evs is trying to emulate Golden Pal’s feat as a Juvenile Turf Sprint winner who follows up versus elders in the next year’s Turf Sprint.
Horse
Horse Profile: Frost at Dawn
Although Frost at Dawn’s career highlight is a course record-setting coup in the Nad al Sheba Turf Sprint (G3) over Star of Mystery (Turf Sprint), the William Knight sophomore has acted on dirt and all-weather as well.
Horse
Horse Profile: Pandora’s Gift
A three-year-old filly by Churchill and out of a mare by Exceed and Excel, whose progeny have taken to dirt in Dubai, Pandora’s Gift was a rapid improver over the winter on the all-weather.
Horse
Horse Profile: Isivunguvungu
South African sprinters have a history of performing up to the highest standard on the international stage.
Horse
Horse Profile: Derma Sotogake
After outperforming his 26-1 odds as the runner-up last year, Derma Sotogake is likely to be overlooked again.
International
Horse Profile: Henri Matisse
As the sole runner for O’Brien, a six-time winner of this race including the past two years in a row, Henri Matisse is eminently logical.
Horse
Horse Profile: Shareholder
By the same sire as Turf Sprint favorite Cogburn, Not This Time, Shareholder was on an accelerated course to make Royal Ascot just about a month after selling at Arqana May for roughly $495,000.
Horse
Horse Profile: Aesterius
One of two prime contenders for Wathnan Racing, along with Shareholder, Aesterius has a couple of points in common with trainer Archie Watson’s best previous hope in this race.
Horse
Horse Profile: Big Mojo
Trained by Mick Appleby for RP Racing, Big Mojo aims to give his connections a repeat win in this race, following stablemate Big Evs (Turf Sprint).
