As you are all very much aware, the 2026 edition of the Kentucky Derby is a mere 10 days away- Saturday May 2nd.

That said, it’s certainly not too early to begin planning for your Derby weekend.

On the morning of the Kentucky Oaks or Derby why not begin your day with some wonderful gourmet coffee from Saratoga Cool Beans?

More specifically how about a cup of My Old Kentucky Home. It truly is Your Morning Cup Of Giddy-Up.

The Daily Racing Blog staff can attest to the great flavor of My Old Kentucky Home.

Here is the coffee’s description from the website: In honor of the bluegrass state- which has more barrels of bourbon than people, we give you this bourbon, pecan pie flavored blend. This one is a special breed, offering southern style roasted pecans with creamy vanilla and a hint of bourbon. It’s not just for Derby Day.

We would also recommend, if you are so inclined, to add a touch of Woodford Reserve to further enhance the flavor of this wonderful morning brew.

And not only is Saratoga Cool Beans produced by horse lovers, for horse lovers but they also support a worthy cause in the horse racing industry.

Saratoga Cool Beans Coffee is doing their part to help the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund.

The on-line coffee shop is not only increasing awareness of the PDJF but offering financial support to the organization as well. 

Saratoga Cool Beans donates 10% of all sales to the PDJF.

With the Kentucky Derby drawing near, now is the time to order a bag of My Old Kentucky Home, (or any of their horseracing-themed coffees) to ensure delivery for the first weekend in May.

Saratoga Cool Beans ships anywhere in the continental United States.

As their website says: “Doesn’t matter if you’re an outrider or a desk jockey you will love this coffee.”
