A horse named Render Judgment, partially owned by Toby Keith’s Dream Walkin’ Farms, is in the field for the iconic race at Churchill Downs. The horse’s inclusion marks the fulfillment of a 30-year dream for Keith, who died from stomach cancer on Feb. 5, 2024.

The horse starting out of gate 15 during Kentucky Derby 151 won’t have the greatest odds of winning, but it does hold sentimental value. For decades, Toby Keith lived his dream singing in front of thousands of fans across the globe.
