About
Chardonnay Derby is a 3yo bay from the United States trained by Linda Rice. He is by the stallion Mitole out of the mare Just Hattie. So far he has recorded one victory. On 3 May 2026 at Belmont’s Big A, he earned his most important win, taking the $35,000 Md. The horse has been a profitable choice for bettors; staying with him throughout his career would have yielded an 8% return on investment.
