This is very well said. Jaxson understands that we can “agree to disagree”….that we can love our neighbor even though there are things we might not agree on. Respect for the values of American. Freedom of speech for all…not just who we agree with. Well done Jaxson

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Jaxson Dart just nailed it. Watch this. Guy’s going to have the number one selling jersey in America by the end of the month. Fun fact: New York was closer to being a red state in 2024 than Florida or Texas were to being blue.

🚨 OLYMPIAN RYAN LOCHTE: "We started watching these people getting baptized, and something came into me, something so pure."

"I'm going to start crying. It felt so real watching these people get baptized."

"And I asked [my girlfriend], 'What is this?'"

She said, "They're washing away their sins. They're getting a fresh start publicly."

"And I was like, 'Honey, I want that.'"

"And so, I got baptized. I washed away my sins, and trust me, I had a lot!"

"... To put your life in front of God and give it to God has changed everything for me."

"I'm finding who I am."

"I am being a better father, a better person, and I just love the person that I've become now, and I owe it to God."

It’s going to keep going up.

How do you make this year round?
More events. More moments. More content.

Entertainment creates content. Exposure builds FOMO… and FOMO grows the game beyond the Kentucky Derby.

If you don’t show people what they’re missing, they’ll never know to care.

Let’s keep pushing 🐎

[Anna Lulis @annamlulis]

Wow. Cherie DeVaux praises her husband after becoming the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner.

“I have to say an immense amount of gratitude to my husband, who stood behind me.”

Marriage isn’t a “trap,” it’s the greatest force in the world. ❤️

[Elliott Walden @WinStarCEO]

I agree
Great week of racing and Churchill did a great job. I also love the access to food and drink without having to stand in long lines. Great vibe all day.
Great job by Cherie amd her team.
Well done

[Bradley Weisbord @BradWeisbord]

Churchill Downs deserves a near-perfect score for the show they put on this weekend.

We got fair, consistent turf and dirt surfaces and most importantly, they were SAFE.

Say what you want about the vet scratches, but I’ll go out on a limb: for the most part, the vets got it right. No system is perfect.

They continue to invest in and upgrade the facility every year, and it shows. Mike Ziegler treats horsemen and clients the right way 💯.

Credit to Ben Huffman and Dan Bork for putting together tremendous race cards. We saw some brilliant performances.

Saw clips of the @NBCSports coverage, it was very engaging.

At the event, even the music between races was dialed in (love 300 Violin Orchestra playing over the announcing of the horses for Oaks/Derby).

Top to bottom, a terrific 2 days and a great stage to showcase our sport. A win for racing! 📸 @ChurchillDowns

Class President will get 60 days off for bone bruising. He had all diagnostics (pet,ct, X-rays) and revealed no surgeries were needed. Good luck to everyone in the @KentuckyDerby
It is a special time of year.

[GVG Genetics @GVG_Genetics]

The farm is buzzing about this filly! 👀

Out of our @theTDN Rising Star mare Jack's Magic Girl (Good Magic) and by Heartland (@WinStarFarm)....what a first foal she has produced!

We couldn't be happier and can't wait to watch this young lady mature and grow 🤍

OMG! 😱 What kind of monster did those @ArroyoBldstck just let loose at OBS 😱 🦍

I’ve been hearing rumors of this gorilla Life Is Good colt for a while now, but that was just bonkers 😱

Didnt even look like he was trying and still a 9.4 bullet. 🚀 #BEAST
