History Never Lies: Insights from the Last 21 Kentucky Derby Winners


Happy New Year to every member of The Dirty Horse Club! As snow blankets much of the country on this crisp January morning, we're kicking off 2026 with a completely open mind, ready to conquer this year's Derby.


Today, January 1, 2026, marks a key milestone in thoroughbred racing: every horse born in 2023 officially becomes a three-year-old, ushering in a new Triple Crown season filled with classic hopefuls.


For those of us who follow these horses closely year after year, this date holds special meaning - the shift from juvenile promise to serious Derby contention.


Right now, there's a strong possibility that the next top Derby contender hasn't even debuted yet. One such prospect could be lurking in Bob Baffert's barn: a colt by the name of POTENTE.


POTENTE  Into Mischief – Sweet Sting (Awesome Again)

DP = 1-4-7-0-0 (12) DI = 2.43 CD = 0.50 ANZ = 4.14 (Outstanding!)

Mare Profile = 3-10-5-11-3 Speed = 13 Stamina = 14 Index = 0.95 Triads = 18-26-19 (Spectacular!)


This colt's numbers are tailor-made for the Kentucky Derby. Indexes at 2.43/4.14 from Into Mischief is exceptional. Despite being unraced at two, his workouts on the West Coast have been impressive - enough to suggest Baffert might be plotting a "Justify"-style late bloom into stardom.


At The Dirty Horse Club, we focus on historical patterns in Derby prep races: track biases, dosage profiles, running styles, energy distribution, including the performances both here and abroad.



Just as valuable, however, is looking backwards and examining what the last 21 Kentucky Derby winners actually accomplished as two-year-olds as well. This provides critical context for evaluating today's emerging three-year-olds.


By analyzing two decades of Derby victors, we can identify the wide range of viable paths to Churchill Downs - and one clear truth emerges: superior breeding and dosage consistently bind these champions together, far more than flashy juvenile campaigns.


The data below reveals a surprising reality: many Derby winners were relatively unknown or lightly raced at two. Only a small handful dominated as juveniles. As the 2026 hopefuls begin their journey, remember to prioritize 10f pedigrees over early hype.


Key Takeaway from the Last 21 Kentucky Derby Winners as Two-Year-Olds  

  • A significant majority flew under the radar as juveniles.

  • Juvenile stardom was the exception, not the rule.

  • Elite dosage and breeding profiles proved to be the strongest common thread.


As these newly turned three-year-olds hit the Derby trail, let history guide us: the next winner may be the one no one is talking about - yet.


SYNOPSIS of the TWO YEAR OLD CAMPAIGNS of the Past 21 Derby Winners: (2005 to 2025)


Number of Races as a Two Year Old:

Zero to Two Races: 9 out of 21 = 43%

Three to Five Races: 10 out of 21 = 48%

Six to Seven Races: 2 out of 21 = 9%


There is basically no difference between a colt that is very lightly raced (0 to 2 races) as a two year old (or even not raced at all) against a colt who has 3 to 5 races under his belt. The percentage drops way down when the colt is over-raced as a two year old.


The names of those colts who either did not run as a 2 year old or only had 1 or 2 races were Justify (0), Mage (0), Authentic (1), Big Brown (1), Mandaloun (2), Country House (2), Always Dreaming (2), Animal Kingdom (2), and Barbaro (2). These 9 lightly raced horses were fairly unknown with basically maiden performances under their belts moving into January. Ridiculous to even think that was the case given the list of names there.


While the "light" group may or may not have peaked late, they all still survived the 10f gruelling Derby and this may actually echo the "Justify/Potente" model. Heavily raced winners, California Chrome (7) and Mine That Bird (6) were durable outliers.

Broke Maiden at Two: 17 out of 21 = 81%

Did Not Break Maiden at Two: 4 out of 21 = 19%


Justify, Mage, Country House and Always Dreaming did not even have a posted win as a two year old but still went on to win the Derby. Even though it is a low 19% among the group, it still reveals that the quest is not impossible. Further, there are hundreds of quiet maiden winners out there gearing up for the Derby Trail and many are built exquisitely for the 10f race.

Track Surface Conquered as a two yr old:

Competed on AWS and/or Turf:    10 out of 19 = 52% (Mage and Justify excluded)


This one is absolutely fascinating and highly overlooked at the start of the Derby Trail year after year. Over half of all of the Derby Winners over the past two decades had competed on AWS or Turf as a two year old. They may not have stayed on those two surfaces. They may have been successful there or not - but at the very least, they were exposed to the harder conditions of that bias.


It may even be as simple as their connections understood that the colt was "stamina dominant" therefore qualifying as an early turf runner. Successful there or not, the transition to dirt for the Triple Crown soon followed. Huge tell.


These winners include: Rich Strike, Country House, American Pharoah, California Chrome, I'll Have Another, Animal Kingdom, Mine That Bird, Big Brown, Street Sense and Barbaro.


Love this statistic! Perfect race training to beef up stamina off of those early slick short biases. This stat speaks volumes.

Competed at Churchill Downs as a two year old:

Yes: 6 out of 21 = 29%

No: 15 out of 21 = 71%


It doesn't matter if the colt competed at Churchill Downs early on because the bias and the distance would be different. Holds no bearing with advantages on a Derby contender. Completely different parameters within the same venue - no gain either way.

Competed at Multiple Tracks as a 2 year old: 

Yes: 16 out of 21 = 76%

No: 5 out of 21 = 24%


This is another very important stat which points out the value of a two year old being exposed to different track biases and providing evidence of travelling well. Travel adaptability as juveniles is a huge plus for handling scattered Derby Preps plus the Derby's chaos, but also ensures exposure to different biases.


Side note: Aiden O'Brien, arguably the best two year old trainer in the world, highly believes in traveling his juveniles as part of their early training. This 76% stat proves that the point can be a very important factor in their success as they move forward.


Which coast they competed and trained as a 2 year old:

East Coast: 14 out of 19 = 74%

West Coast: 7 out of 19 = 26%


Mage and Justify excluded. Nyquist and I'll Have Another competed at both coasts as 2 year olds. East Coast holds the edge with travelling to multiple tracks on the East Coast even more substantial. That combination is lethal. West Coast pure players; Authentic, American Pharoah, California Chrome, Giacomo, etc) success amplifies when they have multiple tracks or top-tier class, but East/multi-East gives a clear edge for versatility.

Competed in a Derby Prep at Two Years Old:

Yes: 6 out of 21 = 29%

No: 15 out of 21 = 71%


Not only doesn't it matter if a colt competed in a Derby Prep as a two Year old, it doesn't even matter if he won, hit the board or came in dead least. It holds no bearing as far as history is concerned.

Very First Race they entered as a new Three Year Old:

Maiden: 4 out of 21 = 19%

Allowance/Other: 7 out of 21 = 33%

Early Derby Prep: 10 out of 21 = 48%


First Race as a Three Year Old:

Won: 15 out of 21 = 71%

Lost: 6 out of 21 = 29%


Based on the history of the past 21 Kentucky Derby Winners, it did not matter the type of race that they competed in as a newly minted 3 year old. It is even between the maiden/allowances (52%) and the hyped early preps (48%). What mattered and what was of major importance is if they were successful in posting a win in that first race as a 3 year old. In other words, class at that stage (first or second month 3 year old) didn't matter. Success on the track, regardless of status held much greater merit.  


Early-season victory = confidence booster, while the race type is irrelevant. This gives evidence of will and determination and the fight for the wire. The horse has no idea what type of race he is competing in, he is still fighting against the same "immature peers" regardless, and his successful performance is all that really matters at this early stage.


In addition, this stat reiterates that over half of the past 21 Derby Victors were basically "unknown" maiden/allowance/other winners (hyped or not) and were not found on any leaderboards or Derby lists as potential Churchill players and further gives credence to newcomers like Potente.

Style of Running as a Two Year Old:

Up Front: 11 out of 19 = 58%

In the Rear: 8 out of 19 = 42%


Mage and Justify excluded. Running up front or coming from behind makes no difference when it comes to the Kentucky Derby eventual winners in how they moved as two year olds. In addition, many of these horses went on to have multiple running styles as a 3 year old. Pace makes the race at two and also in the Derby. Style only comes into play based on pace projections, no matter the class of race.


Also, this stat ties into the one just below. Early young races at the 6f and 6.5f distance would cater to the speedier front runners (especially on the West Coast). Others at the 8f and 8.5f distance would tend to favor the rear runners as they pass retreating horses. It all depends on the early race placement and signifies no advantage either way.

Distance Progression as Juveniles: Stretching Out Successfully Early

Ran 8f or longer at two: 12 out of 19 = 63%


Of those 12, 9 broke their maiden or won impressively at 8f+ (e.g., Sovereignty maiden win at 8.5f, Rich Strike maiden claiming at 8f, Big Brown debut win at 8f). Mage and Justify excluded.


Over half the winners proved they could handle a distance as very young juveniles. This early route ability (especially winning at 8f or 8.5f) is a stronger positive than generally appreciated and far more predictive than winning short flashy 6f or 7f races. This also ties in with the AWS/Turf "race training."

Sire Line Trends Beyond Into Mischief


  • A.P. Indy line (including sons/derivatives like Malibu Moon, Pioneerof the Nile, Curlin branches): 7 winners (Orb, California Chrome via Pulpit, American Pharoah, Super Saver damsire, etc.)

  • Mr. Prospector branches dominant overall, but shifting.


While Into Mischief has exploded recently, the A.P. Indy line quietly produced 7 of the 21 - showing stamina influence persists even in this speed-oriented era.


(Potente - Into Mischief but with Awesome Again damsire - another major stamina branch fits this mold)


However, it is the Mares (Reines) where that stamina explodes through these speedier indexes.


Mare Profile Stamina vs. Speed Balance

Average Mare Profile stats across all 21:

  • Speed points: 10.5

  • Stamina points: 14.3

  • Index average: 0.82 (under .90 stamina-leaning)


The Mares Scales consistently skew toward stamina. Even "speedy" winners like Nyquist, Mandaloun, and Giacomo had elite mares providing underlying quality stamina. This reinforces why pure speed sires need balancing dams for 10f classic success.


Breeding/Configurations:

Perfect Balance/Scale with Exceptional Derby Configurations: 16 out of 21 = 76%

Slightly Off with Mares Scale/Balance and/or in the Triads: 5 out of 21 = 24%


The five that were slightly off with proper Derby Configurations include Sovereignty, Always Dreaming, American Pharoah, Orb, and Super Saver. (Although, Orb was sporting 40 Profile points on a sloppy Derby track which usually discounts the off triads - but we'll still keep him in for consistency)


In the five editions that these particular horses ran:

Clean Fast Track at Churchill: 1 out of 5 = 20%

Sloppy Wet Messy Track at Churchill: 4 out of 5 = 80% (However, those 4 did coincide with a sloppy track)


Only American Pharoah, who went on to win the Triple Crown, ran on a normal fast bias and took home the Derby Trophy with configurations that did not coincide with history with the mares slightly off. Just One. Pedigree/Configurations forgives minor flaws on off tracks.


Perfect Configurations for Derby Day Bias: 20 out of 21 = 95%

Mares line not proper for Derby Day Bias: 1 out of 21 = 5%


Strong configurations (like Potente's 2.43/4.14 with stacked triads) fit 76% of winners and 95% of the winners including the off tracks. Combined with the multi-track performances, watch for lightly raced colts who ship well and win impressively first-out at three. It's all about the numbers and the configurations!
