It can only be described as bizarro this year. There are almost as many entries as in regular years, but there will be no fans allowed. Only connections to the horse, track personnel, and media are allowed at Churchill Downs.
It is so bizarro the infield, typically packed with spectators, is instead a parking area!
Meanwhile, there are protests regarding the death of Breonna Taylor earlier this year, and of course the Trump supporters who are there to protest against the protesters. No big problems so far apart from a shooting elsewhere that is unrelated to any protests.
Tiz the Law, winner of the Belmont Stakes, is the favorite today.
This year marks my SIXTIETH consecutive Kentucky Derby that I have watched live every year since 1961 except for 1974, which was a delayed broadcast up here in southern Oregon for reasons I don't remember.
