Forever Young, slated to compete in the Kentucky Derby, has arrived at Churchill Downs, as announced by the JRA on April 14th. The prestigious race is set to take place on Saturday, May 4, at the iconic Churchill Downs Racecourse in the United States.
Forever Young departed from Dubai International Airport at 13:30 local time (18:30 JST) on April 10th, Wednesday. After a brief stop at Brussels Airport, he arrived at Chicago O'Hare International Airport at 22:20 local time (12:20 JST on April 11th, Thursday). He reached Churchill Downs at 04:05 local time (17:05 JST) on Saturday, April 13th.
"After the trip from Dubai to Chicago, you wouldn't believe he'd just been transported, he was bursting with energy. Even after arriving at the track from Chicago, he showed no issues and was noticeably energetic; it really shows he travels well. His is eating up well and while we'll see how he does tomorrow, I think he'll be able to get out on the track," commented Mr. Oka, groom of Forever Young.
