Journalism Horse Trainer and Jockey

Trainer Michael McCarthy is looking for his first taste of glory at the Kentucky Derby but has found success in the Triple Crown. He trained Rombauer, which won Preakness in 2021.

Jockey Umberto Rispoli, too, hasn't proved it on horse racing's biggest stage, though he's placed 2nd at three separate Breeders' Cup events, most recently in the 2024 Mile aboard Johannes.

Journalism Race History

Journalism's been dominant early in their career, winning four of five starts and placing third in the only one they didn't win.
