GILLETTE, WY–JUNE 9, 2024–8/5 favorite One Fabulous Dynasty gets his fourth consecutive win this season in the $100,000 Gillette Derby at Energy Downs 307 Horse Racing on Sunday.

Kody Kellenburger usually rides One Fabulous Dynasty, but Justin Shepherd got the leg up on today's victory. The duo broke first from the gates and led the field of ten to the wire. He clocked an 87 speed index in :17.794 seconds, running into a 12 mph headwind. The 350-yard victory paid $5.20 to win.

One Fabulous Dynasty ran a good freshman campaign with a victory in the BHS Futurity, second in the Valley Junction Juvenile Stakes, and third in the Energy Downs 307 Open Futurity. But he remains undefeated for his three-year-old season with four wins and two stakes victories, including the Dan Lockie Derby in May at Miles City.

The son of One Fabulous Eagle has lit the board in every out with six career wins, and the $50,000 winner's share of the Gillette Derby purse ups his lifetime earnings to $104,930.
