The 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby serves as the crown jewel of an entire week of racing at Louisvilleâs Churchill Downs. The global event happens at 6:57 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, May 2, giving the 3-year-old horses the spotlight for 1-1/4 miles in the Run for the Roses as the first leg of horse racingâs triple crown.
While all eyes focus on the Kentucky Derby and leading horses Renegade, Further Ado and Commandment, the legendary race is just one of dozens of events throughout the week, starting on Sunday and continuing daily right up to Kentucky Oaks day on Friday and the Derby day on Saturday.

The Sunday Funday racing returned to Churchill Downs for the first time since 2010 before the traditional Dawn at the Downs on Monday, which opened the track to morning training sessions. On Tuesday, 502âs Day put a focus on local events while âWinsdayâ continued the focus on local organizations and nonprofits. âThurbyâ was all about celebrating the stateâs racing heritage.

Oaks Day has its own traditions, including a celebration of breast cancer awareness, with fans embracing the âpink outâ tradition to honor the cause.
