About 137th Kentucky Derby
The Kentucky Derby is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old thoroughbred horses, held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, on the first Saturday in May, capping the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival. The race is known in the United States as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" for its approximate duration, and is also called "The Run for the Roses" for the blanket of roses draped over the winner. It is the first leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing in the US and typically draws around 155,000 fans. The race is one and a quarter miles (2 km) at Churchill Downs. More...
Live Coverage begins at 5pm EST on NBC and Race Time is 6:04pm EST.

If you are going to ride in a Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your priced fastest stallion in the stable.

@HanMSharp I know what you mean though. Like to me $8 for a Kentucky Derby Shot glass is ridiculous, 'cause it's junk to me.
