Editor’s Note:

Kentucky Derby winner Mystik Dan is headed to a new home starting today — Sunday — at beautiful and scenic Airdrie Stud near Midway, KY. But before he could go to his new job, to start in 2026, his connections gave him one last tour of duty at his most famous and favorite spot — Churchill Downs.

Here’s a look at Mystik Dan at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

Beauty.

At every angle.
