Overview

  • Render Judgment, a colt from Toby Keith’s Dream Walkin’ Farms, will compete in the 151st Kentucky Derby as a 30-1 longshot.
  • The horse secured its spot in the race after Tappan Street was scratched due to injury, marking the farm's first Derby entry since its founding in 2001.
  • Trained by Kenny McPeek, who won the 2024 Derby, and ridden by jockey Julien Leparoux, Render Judgment brings experienced guidance to the field.
  • Keith’s family now manages the 330-acre Oklahoma-based operation, continuing his passion for horse racing alongside his celebrated music legacy.
  • The Kentucky Derby, known as the “Run for the Roses,” takes place Saturday evening at Churchill Downs, with post time set for 6:57 p.m. ET.
