John Anderson Wall Street Journal The colors, the clothes -- and at the Derby, the hats -- are visually captivating. The beasts are beautiful. And the actual races are thrilling. People in the know will tell you that horses bred for racing love to run. It’s easy to believe. Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Stephanie Morgan Common Sense Media This glossy, fast-paced docuseries offers an unapologetic look inside the high-stakes, ego-driven world of elite horse racing. Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Race for the Crown offers a verité look at the Kentucky Derby and the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, but there are so many other Derby figures that aren't even included. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 28, 2025 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) Appeals even to those who don’t know anything about the sport, let alone follow it, because it’s incredibly unique. Plus, the series does a great job explaining the sport while spotlighting its most interesting and colorful characters. Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Heather P Full of boring and narcissism. Don’t waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Ryan B Colorful characters. The owners that spotlight the show give you an up front seat to narcissism which was a turn off. The jockey scenes were very interesting. More spot light on the horses would have made this series better Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
