Foal Friday - Derby Edition 2016 · 12:06pm May 6th, 2016

Meet Rachel's Valentina

She's the daughter of Kentucky Oaks winner Rachel Alexandra by Bernardini, and is the morning line favorite in this Friday's Kentucky Oaks, as she seeks to claim her mother's crown.

And this little fella posing so nicely,

is Nyquist. Who'll be starting as the 3-1 favorite from post 13 for the fastest two minutes in sports tomorrow, with the 142nd running of the Kentucky Derby, and continue a career unbeaten streak. He's flanked in the middle of the track by his chief rivals Mohaymen (14), and Exaggerator (11), and by back to back Derby winning jockey Victor Espinoza, who's looking to make it three in a row on board Whitmore (10).

Happy Horses!

Sir Barton (One Hundred Year Old Racehorse)
