Incredibolt Enters Preakness Stakes After Impressive Derby Performance (2026)

Incredibolt, a promising Thoroughbred colt, has made remarkable strides in recent racing events, showcasing a consistent track record of excellence. Enterprising trainer Michael Hardy, owner of Pin Oak Stud, reports that Incredibolt, trained by Riley Mott, performed well in both the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1), finishing sixth under jockey Jaime Torres who won the 2024 Preakness with Seize the Grey. The horse’s ability to perform across these prestigious events highlights a significant trend in high-performance breeding. 'The horsereally was doing so well coming out of the Derby,' Hardy notes, emphasizing how Incredibolt's seven-week gap between races allowed him to adapt seamlessly. This consistency is particularly notable as he continues to captivate attention with performances in the Virginia Derby and Street Sense Stakes, earning $498,681 and achieving a 3-0-0 win record in six starts. Hardy anticipates training Incredibolt at Churchill Downs May 12 and shipping him to Maryland in the afternoon. Personal insights suggest that Incredibolt’s success underscores a growing trend in young thoroughbreds seeking to excel in major competitions while maintaining their competitive edge.
