How He Got Here

Not only is “Forever Young” one of the best Bob Dylan songs (and that’s saying something), it also holds a weird and fun place in sports history – the song was memorably quoted by none other than broadcasting legend Howard Cosell when Muhammad Ali won the Heavyweight Title for the third time.

Come 2024, Forever Young adds a new dimension – it’s the name of a serious contender for this year’s Kentucky Derby, one who comes here by the unusual – but increasingly popular – Japanese route.
