Bet Fulleffort with TwinSpires, the official betting partner of the Kentucky Derby

Who is Fulleffort?

Fulleffort presents one of the race's most intriguing yet risky profiles. He's been brilliant on Turfway Park's synthetic surface, winning the Jeff Ruby Steaks in improving fashion, but the Kentucky Derby will be his first career start on dirt , and that is the single most important fact about him. His pedigree offers legitimate reasons for optimism: his dam's daughter Power Squeeze won the Alabama at 1¼ miles on dirt, and grandsire Awesome Again won the Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs. Brad Cox is the best trainer in the field, and Tyler Gaffalione lost last year's Derby by a nose and is hungry to return. But pedigree arguments, however compelling, cannot guarantee a horse handles a new surface in America's toughest race. Bettors should proceed with caution and look for better value unless Fulleffort works brilliantly on Churchill dirt in the days immediately before the race.

Fulleffort's Family Tree

Fulleffort's father is Liam's Map, a great racehorse known for his versatility and ability to win on many different track surfaces. His mother is Callmethesqueeze, whose own father was Awesome Again, another accomplished racehorse. Having champions in both families is like being born into an athletic dynasty!

Fulleffort's Racing Record

Fulleffort has seven career races with three wins, two second-place finishes, and 1 third-place finish, and has earned $694,115—a huge amount for such a young horse! Most importantly, he's proven he can win on multiple surfaces, including all-weather tracks and grass (turf). This versatility makes him special because it shows he can adapt to different racing conditions.

He gets some added distance and FULLEFFORT put it all together in the G3 Jeff Ruby Steaks at @turfwaypark, earning 100 Kentucky Derby points! 🏆🌹@iradortiz piloted the 3YO colt for the @bradcoxracing barn!
