Kentucky Derby: Breeze times vary for juvenile sale grads

The Kentucky Derby is contested at a mile and a quarter, but many of this year’s contenders had to first prove their mettle across a single furlong.

Many factors are taken into consideration when assessing a horse’s performance at a breeze show, including movement, length of stride, breathing, and the gallop-out after crossing the finish line. The most basic factor measured, however, is time.
