Danner Racing Stable

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!

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.
