The holiday weekend ended up being a winning one for Danner Racing! Allura started things off on a high note on Friday at Saratoga, securing a MSW win in her very first start! This 2 year old filly was purchased out of the Keeneland September sale last year, and all her breaking was done at Danner Racing. Then on Sunday, both Danner Racing runners at Ellis Park found themselves in the winners circle. First, Ship Ship Hooray won his race, for the 3rd win of his career, then Agate found himself all alone at the wire in the 2nd start of his young career. 2 year old Agate was making just his 2nd start, and first start around two turns. Fun fact: Danner Racing trained his dam to victory when she was on the race track! Then also on Sunday, 2 year old Bee Crazy also won a MSW at Colonial Downs. Fun fact: Bee Crazy is owned and bred by the same connections as Agate!

It’s been a busy week for Danner Racing! Firstly, Otago started things off by winning at Churchill, followed by Stargazzers Dream and The Hund running good seconds in their respective races. Then first time starter, 2 year old filly Indigyat, won her first start, a MSW at Horseshoe Indianapolis on Thursday! Her win was another special win for the barn, as she was broke and all her training was done with Danner Racing. Congratulations to all the connections.

While the KY Oaks may be over, Derby week isn’t over for all of Danner Racing. Stable pony RJ will be working all day today at Churchill Downs with NBC and Donna Brothers! A vital part of the team in the mornings, RJ is getting his weekend of fame in the afternoons for a change! Catch him assisting in the interview process after every stakes race and the KY Derby today!

While it wasn’t the desired result, it was an honor to be able to participate in such a historic event as the Kentucky Oaks! Lovely Grey took a big step up moving into Grade I company and changing surfaces, and we look forward to more races with her! Congratulations to the owners and entire team.

Before she ever saddled a horse here, before she ever dreamed of walking one over on Kentucky Oaks Day, Kelsey Danner was tethered to Churchill Downs.

First 2 year old starter of 2026 = first 2 year old winner of 2026 for Danner Racing! Sharpie Girl showed she was ready for the challenge, going gate to wire at Keeneland on Wednesday. Sharpie Girl actually joined the barn last year as a yearling. All of her breaking and training was done by the team at Danner Racing, so this win was an even more emotional one, knowing it was a true team effort to get to the winners circle so quickly.
