Calumet Farm’s homebred Gin Gin will seek to become the first horse to win the Baird Doubledogdare (G2) in consecutive years when she takes on seven rivals April 17 in the 31st running of the $400,000 race.

Run at 1 1/16 miles on the main track, the Baird Doubledogdare will go as the afternoon’s ninth race at 5:16 p.m. ET. The 10-race program begins at 1 p.m.

Trained by Brendan Walsh, Gin Gin is perfect in two Keeneland starts and showed her readiness for the Baird Doubledogdare by working a best-of-59 half-mile in :46.80 Friday morning.

She romped by 5¼ lengths in this race last year at odds of 38-1 and came back during the Fall Meet  to win the Juddmonte Spinster (G1) at odds of 18-1 over future Eclipse Award winner Nitrogen.

Luis Saez, who was aboard for the Juddmonte Spinster victory, has the mount Friday from post 4.

The only horse to win the Doubledogdare twice was Jeano in 1992 and 1994.

Chief among Gin Gin’s rivals is Full of Run Racing II and Madaket Stables’ Alpine Princess.

Trained by Brad Cox, Alpine Princess won the Falls City (G3) at Churchill Downs to close her 2025 campaign. She was second in the Royal Delta (G3) at Gulfstream Park in February to open 2026. Irad Ortiz Jr. has the mount from post 1.
