Kentucky Downs plans to increase purses for nine of its 18 stakes by a total of $3.7 million from what was originally announced, pending regulatory approval. Heading the way is the Nashville Derby Invitational (G3T), bumped from $2.5 million to $3.1 million. That would make the 1 5/16-mile stakes North America's second-richest race for Kentucky-breds behind only the $5 million Kentucky Derby (G1) among races held at one track. The Nashville Derby already was America's richest turf race for Kentucky-breds outside the $5 million Breeders' Cup Turf (G1T), whose location moves around with the Breeders' Cup World Championships.

What is the first thing you do when you go to the barn? Is your only goal for the day to ride your horse?. As a barn owner without any outside help, I constantly handle my horses through feeding, cleaning stalls, turning out in the pasture, and so much more. There are several days when I don’t even ride, but I still spend hours at the barn. I’ll do barn chores just to be around my horse, or I might do groundwork with my horse and observe his reactions. These experiences taught me about my horse’s demeanor, which transferred to riding on a daily basis.
