The “Greatest Two Minutes In Sports” is tomorrow with the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby. Unlike last year, fans will be in the stands but only about 45-thousand and COVID protocols will be in place. Churchill Downs has a regular capacity of 165-thousand. Essential Quality is the morning-line favorite and post time is 5:50 pm Central.
Meanwhile, the Kentucky Oaks-the race for fillies-will be held today at Churchill Downs. Malathaat is the 5-2 morning line favorite. She won the Ashland Stakes at Keeneland earlier.
