Sovereignty represents the first Kentucky Derby winner for owner/breeder Godolphin, who also won Friday's Kentucky Oaks with Good Cheer, making them the first ownership group to complete the Oaks-Derby double since 1952 (Calumet Farm).

And... Godolphin also won the 1000 Guineas, with Desert Flower, at Newmarket to complete the Classic hat-trick for the weekend.

With Humberto Gomez aboard, Kentucky Derby victor Justify returned to the track Thursday morning for the first time since his 2 ½-length triumph Saturday in the 144th Run for the Roses.
Sporting his Kentucky Derby training saddle towel, Justify backtracked to the finish line accompanied by a pony with Baffert assistant Jim Barnes aboard. Justify then proceeded to gallop about 1 ½ miles before returning to the barn.
“I was very happy with him,” Barnes said. “He went to the track perfect and galloped perfect. I couldn’t be happier with him.”
“We will stick to the same plan and go a little light into Baltimore,” said Barnes of the post-Derby routine that has served Baffert well with all four of his previous Derby winners coming back in two weeks to win the Preakness. “Just keep him happy and healthy.” -Churchill Downs Press Release
