2026 Ohio Derby Picks + Is Golden Tempo a Top 10 Horse in Training? | Blinkers Off 789

The Racing Dudes preview this weekend’s Ohio Derby (G3) at Thistledown and the Chicago Stakes (G2) at Churchill Downs, breaking down the top contenders, best betting angles, and their official picks for both races.

The Dudes also discuss the latest NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll and debate whether Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner Golden Tempo deserves to be ranked among the Top 10 horses currently in training. Is he already ahead of some of the sport’s established stars, or does he still have more to prove?
