Down the Shedrow with the Brian Lynch Stable

The Brian Lynch stable is one of the hottest barns on the Churchill Downs backside and has a big weekend ahead. Winning at a 27% clip in 2026, Lynch currently ranks fifth at the Churchill Downs meet, finishing in the money in 30 of his 40 starts. Assistant trainer Nic Lynch takes the TDN down the shedrow. He highlights a handful of recent 'TDN Rising Stars,' several barn-favorite veterans, and a competitive lineup for this weekend topped by GII Fleur de Lis contender Shred the Gnar.
