Blue Grass Stakes Highlights Derby Prep Weekend
The final major prep races for the Kentucky Derby, including the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, are set to take place this Saturday. The Blue Grass Stakes is a crucial 1 1/8-mile race offering 200 qualifying points, with River Thames and Owen Almighty as top contenders. River Thames, trained by Todd Pletcher, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite, while Owen Almighty, fresh from a Tampa Bay Derby win, headlines the field. The race is expected to be highly competitive, with potential for muddy conditions due to forecasted rain. The Blue Grass Stakes is one of several key races this weekend, alongside the Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby, all crucial for securing a spot in the Kentucky Derby. Meanwhile, Churchill Downs has released its 2025 Style Guide, focusing on modern Derby fashion with an emphasis on unique headwear from featured milliners.
