Preakness 2026: While still a maiden, Ocelli's Derby run proved he belongs
David Grening May 12, 2026
LAUREL, Md. – Finishing third in the Kentucky Derby is obviously not as good as winning. But for the connections of Ocelli, their colt’s third at 70-1 as a maiden in the 152nd Kentucky Derby two weeks ago at Churchill Downs felt pretty satisfying.
Ocelli, who only drew into the Derby off the also-eligible list two days before the race, made a sustained rally under Tyler Gaffalione that carried him from 17th to the lead inside the sixteenth pole. The lead was short-lived, however, as Ocelli was passed by Golden Tempo and Renegade, ultimately beaten one length at the wire.
