We are two weeks from the 150th edition of the Kentucky Derby, and a whole bunch of the Derby and Oaks horses are already on the grounds at Churchill Downs. Many of them were on the track on Saturday morning for the First Oaks/Derby training session from 7:30 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. It started on Saturday and will continue up until Derby Day."I think finding that balance between what can and would or should happen, it's all about, you know, just kind of the moment now and say the road's the goal," Honor Marie trainer Whit Beckman said. "It's all about the journey and you know, we're always on the road.""So look, we've been around the bullseye on this, you know, and we've had we've had some good runs," trainer Ken McPeek said. "And I think I've had a couple of fourths in the Oaks, too, and I've had the favorite in the Derby. And, you know, look, all of it's got to come together. I mean, it's just not, you know, not easy. And big 20 horse field, you got to have a lot like go right But look, we've got a great team of horses and people and clients and, you know, look, if it's our turn, it's our turn, if it isn't, it isn't."One of the great parts of covering the Derby is mining all the stories on the backside. Like Louisville native Danny Gargan. He has two chances to win the roses and he grew up right next to Churchill Downs.Being here is a blessing and we just want all the owners and everybody that's involved to really focus on how big of a blessing this is, because, you know, there's a lot of horses and there's, you know, to have two in the Derby and one year when you only had five, had five colts that were not New York-bred and I have two make the Derby," Gargan said. "That's pretty hard to do. And, you know, tremendous. So we're just knock on wood, we've been blessed this year and we just got to keep going and stay focused and try to do the best we can to keep them going in the right direction."Now it's all about managing the next couple of weeks, making sure that there are no minor setbacks because even a minor setback can take you off the road to the Kentucky Derby. These trainers just want to get their horses into the starting gate on the first Saturday in May.
