List of 2023 Kentucky Derby Horse Owners (Do Any Celebrities Own Horses in this Year's Race?)

Updated:

Owning a racehorse is a pretty expensive proposition, but when your horse is good enough to qualify for the Kentucky Derby then you're probably turning a pretty nice profit.

The ways different horses are owned can vary pretty dramatically, too. There may be just one or two people who own a horse, it may be owned by a big collection of people, it could be owned by a stable, or it could even be owned by an investment firm. Of course, celebrities are also known for purchasing an ownership stake to get in on the fun as well.

Here's a look at who owns every horse in the 2023 Kentucky Derby.

Famous Horse Owners for the 2023 Kentucky Derby

This year's Kentucky Derby doesn't feature any horses with "famous" owners — at least not ones who are probably famous to an audience that doesn't follow horse racing.

There is, however, an owner of a past winner in this year's race. Michael Tabor, who is a part owner of Verifying, owned Thunder Gulch when he won the 1994 Kentucky Derby, Belmont Stakes and Travers Stakes.
