Trainer Cherie DeVaux and Golden Tempo made the biggest impression by winning the Kentucky Derby. But it was Great White left the largest impression -- on the Churchill Downs track -- when he flipped and fell at the starting gate on May 2. Great White was immediately scratched from the Run for the Roses. The 3-year-old was not hurt and is back on Saturday, hopefully leaving from post 13 in the Preakness Stakes. **PREAKNESS PICKS: Our best bets and superfecta for the 2026 race** Great White is huge... as in, massive. He is 17.2 hands -- 5 feet, 10 inches tall from the ground to the top of his withers. He weighs more than 1,300 pounds. Trainer John Ennis believes he isn't done growing.
The big fella, Great White, and @andie\_biancone, head back to the @PreaknessStakes Stakes Barn after Thursday morning gallop. The aptly named Great White stands 17.2 hands and weighs in over 1,300 pounds. And he can run. pic.twitter.com/wYPgIlYFao

As an aside, Great White is a big boy. I rode a warmblood mare that was his height and heavier.
That altitude gave me a nosebleed. 🤣
