Skibidi Rizz scores second career win at Thistledown

Skibidi Rizz won Race 3 at Thistledown on July 2, taking a 1-mile dirt claiming race in Ohio. The result marked the 4-year-old gelding’s second win from 18 career starts.

The chestnut thoroughbred finished ahead of Trouble Or Nothin, Axcel, Runningonhighlevel, and Noble Soul in a race carrying an $11,800 purse. He is trained by Saul M. Morales and owned by N and E Racing Stables.

Part of the attention around Skibidi Rizz comes from his unusual name, which draws on internet slang associated with “Skibidi” and “rizz.” That online context has helped turn his race calls into shareable clips, especially when paired with an Ohio victory.

Beyond the meme value, the horse now has a small but official record of success. His first win came on July 15, 2025, at Horseshoe Indianapolis, and this latest result adds another legitimate racing note to a name that has mostly circulated as an internet joke.
