But Colvin regrouped, saddled up her second ride\u2014Dicoblue PS\u2014and chose to press on, pain and all.<\/p>\n<h2>Colvin and Dicoblue PS Lead the Field With Poise and Precision<\/h2>\n<p>Dicoblue PS, an 11-year-old Oldenburg gelding with jumper roots, had already helped Colvin secure the top spot after the classic round. The handy round challenged riders with a tight, creative course\u2014including a bounce and the iconic &#8220;Churchill Downs pen.&#8221; Staying composed, Colvin delivered a seamless round that earned the <strong>evening\u2019s highest score: 309.<\/strong> Combined with her earlier score, she finished with a commanding total of 608\u201411 points ahead of the runner-up.<\/p>\n<h2>A Milestone Victory With a Humble Nod to Her Partner<\/h2>\n<p>This win marks<strong> Colvin\u2019s fourth Derby Finals title<\/strong>\u2014each on a different horse\u2014a feat unmatched in the event\u2019s history. She now shares the record for most wins with Hunt Tosh but stands alone in her versatility. Still, Colvin gave the credit where it was due: \u201cHe took me around beautifully, and he\u2019s an incredible horse,\u201d she said of Dicoblue PS, highlighting their <strong>trust and teamwork as the true keys to victory.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a
