2011 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom makes the final start of his illustrious career tomorrow in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot, and he will try to become the first thoroughbred to win a Gr. I race on a 3rd different surface in a 3rd different country (he would've also been the 1st ever to win on 4, but he finished 2nd in the BC Mile on the turf in '12). He's the first Ky Derby winner to race at Royal Ascot since Omaha in 1935.

This season has been a real let down after last year. There were so many stories last year, and so far the biggest story this season has been the doping scandal.Comment

Medina Spirit moved one step closer to becoming only the 2nd horse ever to be disqualified for a medical reason from a Kentucky Derby win when the split sample came back positive for betamethasone.Comment

Nine months after the race, and three months after Medina Spirit died, he was officially DQ'd from the 2021 Kentucky Derby and placed last. Mandaloun is now the official winner.Originally posted by revo View PostComment
