The late great Toby Keith not only had a passion for music and red solo cups, he loved horse racing.

His involvement included being an owner, breeder, and active participant in the racing community.​

Toby Keith established Dream Walkin’ Farms, a 300-acre Thoroughbred breeding and racing operation based in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, in 2001.

He once said, “The horse racing business has always thrilled me that much.” And now, he’ll be thrilled from up above during the upcoming Kentucky Derby.

His horse Render Judgment will run in the Kentucky Derby, the first of Toby Keith’s career!

“It was Toby’s dream….Render Judgment is going to the Kentucky Derby. He worked so hard to finally have one there! Toby will have the best seat in the house to watch," his official account wrote on social media.

With 30-1 odds, Render Judgment is one of the 20 horses expected to run in the 2025 Kentucky Derby, which will be held on May 3rd at the iconic Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. The 3-year-old Thoroughbred colt has gained a lot of attention on the 2025 Road to the Kentucky Derby this year, currently sitting at 18th on the Kentucky Derby points leaderboard.
