The upcoming 2024 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs will feature a potential dominant contender, Endlessly, who will be embarking on a unique challenge, racing on dirt for the first time.
Endlessly, a horse with a proven track record, has earned a reputation for his strong performances on tuff, winning four stakes. However, he will need to adapt quickly to the new challenge of switching surfaces, a task that could potentially make or break his performance in the upcoming race.
Endlessly, the son of Oscar Performance, a champion in his own right with victories in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, Belmont Derby, Secretariat and Woodbine Miles, comes from a lineage of strong grass performers. However, Oscar Performance has also produced strong dirt contenders, such as Red Carpet Ready, a winner of the Eight Belles, Forward Gal and Hurrican Betie sprinting.
Get ready for the excitement of Saturday’s race as we delve into everything you need to know about the promising Endlessly.
