Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Historical Horses) for July 25-26, 2026 (Season 41, Game 138):

Named for an 1807 battle & valiant in one 8 years later, Copenhagen was this man’s steed; society ladies donned strands of his hair

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Adam Silverman, a scientist from Arlington, Massachusetts

Ann Velenchik, an economics professor from Brookline, Massachusetts

Alex DeFrank, an inventory specialist from Brooklyn, New York (3-day total: $75,600)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

While Season 42 has just finished up and we enter encore presentation season during the week, the weekend games continue as we proceed through Alex DeFrank’s run. This weekend sees him attempt to pick up win #4 against Ann Velenchik and Adam Silverman.

Correct response: Who is the Duke of Wellington?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2026 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Originally a racehorse in the few years after his birth, Copenhagen became the trusty steed of the Duke of Wellington, the victor in 1815’s Battle of Waterloo over Napoleon. Given a hero’s welcome upon their return, Regency-era fashion often contained jewelry fashioned out of strands of Copenhagen’s hair. He was named after the 1807 Battle of Copenhagen, where England attacked and destroyed the then-neutral Danish navy as Denmark was planning on allying with France; England wanted to render the Danish navy useless to France.

Game Recap:

This game saw one of Alex DeFrank’s more dominant victories once we got to the end of the Double Jeopardy! Round; Alex had picked up $14,000 on the Daily Doubles en route to $37,400 entering Final Jeopardy. That being said, as the game itself progressed, it looked like things might possibly go Adam’s way after Alex decided not to start hunting for DD3 immediately. Eventually, Adam thought DD3 was in the embassy category, while Alex’s gut feeling about it being in Olympic Host City Attractions ended up being correct—Alex’s $6,000 correct response there proved to be the important money in cementing the runaway game.

Alex having that runaway was incredibly important as well, as Adam was the only player to come up with the Duke of Wellington in Final Jeopardy. That gave Alex victory #4; next week, Alex faces off against Hillary Hess and Cameron Berry in an attempt to pick up victory #5.

Scores going into Final:

Alex $37,400
Adam $13,000
Ann $6,000

Tonight’s results:

Ann $6,000 – $0 = $6,000 (Who is)
Adam $13,000 + $0 = $13,000 (Who is the Duke of Wellington?)
Alex $37,400 – $10,600 = $26,800 (Who is Trafalgar? Love you Ashley) (4-day total: $102,400)

Game Stats:

Alex $27,600 Coryat, 32 correct, 2 incorrect, 54.39% in first on buzzer (31/57), 0/0 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
Adam $13,000 Coryat, 15 correct, 1 incorrect, 24.56% in first on buzzer (14/57), 2/2 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
Ann $6,000 Coryat, 9 correct, 2 incorrect, 19.30% in first on buzzer (11/57), 0/0 on rebound attempts (on 3 rebound opportunities)
Combined Coryat Score: $46,600
