And They’re Off! Kentucky Derby Day

After a Covid delay, today will be the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby. Post time for the race is 7:00pm EDT.

The Derby is traditionally held on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, but the 2020 running was rescheduled to today.

Normally, the Run for the Roses is the first leg of the triple crown, but isn’t this year for the first time since 1931. This year also marks the first time the Derby hasn’t been held on the first Saturday in May since 1945.

This year’s first leg, the Belmont Stakes was run on 20 June, with Derby favorite Tiz the Law winning. The final leg, the Preakness Stakes, will be held 3 October at Pimlico.
