The Kentucky Derby delivered pure chaos. The favorite Renegade never found a rhythm, dealing with early trouble and a brutal trip, while Golden Tempo flipped the script with a stunning late charge that had the entire race turned upside down. From field size debates to race-day decisions and betting swings, this one left people talking long after the finish line, and RacingDudes’ Aaron Halterman joins the crew to break it all down after the dust settles.

We also look ahead to what’s next in the Triple Crown, who’s got staying power, and why this year’s Derby story hits bigger, especially with Cherie DeVaux making history in a moment that’s bigger than the sport itself.
