2023 Kentucky Derby: Reincarnate Odds, Picks & Predictions

by |

The Kentucky Derby, which is a Grade I stakes horse race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds, is one of the most prestigious and highly anticipated events in the horse racing calendar. It is an iconic event that takes place annually at Churchill Downs, with the next event scheduled for May 2023. One of the most exciting things about the Kentucky Derby is the opportunity for fans to discover exciting new horses, including the possible reincarnate horse, who is expected to compete in the 2023 event.

Reincarnate is a son of the 2017 Kentucky Derby winner, Always Dreaming. He was bred by WinStar Farm LLC and raced by several high-profile trainers, including Todd Pletcher, Bill Mott, and Bob Baffert. The horse is currently owned by Coolmore Stud, one of the biggest names in the horse racing and breeding business.

2023 Kentucky Derby Predictions: Reincarnate

  • Post Position: 7
  • Odds: 50/1

It’s weird to see John Velazquez on a horse with such bad odds to win the race. Velazquez has won the Kentucky Derby three times, but he will have his work cut out for him this year on the back of Reincarnate. Reincarnate ran near the front of the Arkansas Derby and had a clean path the entire race. Yet, the horse struggled down the homestretch, and with this race being longer, we expect him to struggle to keep pace with the field.

Reincarnate Profile

Reincarnate has a chestnut coat with a white blaze and four white socks. He was noted for his impressive size and physical prowess, with a muscular build that immediately impressed his trainers and fans alike. He stands at 16 hands tall, which is considered to be a little above average for a Thoroughbred.

Reincarnate has shown his impressive skills on the racetrack, with his maiden win coming at Saratoga Racecourse, where he showed strong form to win by three-quarters of a length. However, it was his performance in the Grade II San Felipe Stakes, where he finished in 2nd place, that really caught the attention of many fans and analysts, and made him an early favorite for the 2023 Kentucky Derby.

His pedigree also makes him an intriguing contender for the 2023 Kentucky Derby. He is a son of Always Dreaming, who won the Kentucky Derby in 2017 and was noted for his explosive speed and impressive acceleration. His grand sire, Bodemeister, was also a prominent racehorse, finishing second in the 2012 Kentucky Derby and winning the Arkansas Derby.

Reincarnate is also known for his adaptable racing style, as he has shown the ability to race on both dirt and turf. His versatility is a key strength, as different tracks and weather conditions can greatly impact a horse’s performance, especially in the Kentucky Derby where a number of factors can come into play.
