Barn Training Begins

Welcome to Derby Day 2024

Barn Training Begins

The horses are ready. Trainers are wrapping up final preparations at Churchill Downs, and the riders are prepared to take the reins. The horses have been putting in long hours at the track. But there won't be any racing for them in the upcoming days. The training exercise is meant to familiarize the horses with the track and the surrounding environment.

Race Details

Gates open at 7:00 AM. The first race starts at 10:30 AM. The Kentucky Oaks is scheduled to begin at 5:51 PM, and the Kentucky Derby is set to start at 7:04 PM. NBC will broadcast the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks.

It's a rainy day, so there is a chance that the track may be muddy. The weather is expected to be in the mid-60s for the rest of the day.

Here are some of the key storylines to watch for in this year's Kentucky Derby:

• Who will win the Kentucky Derby?
• Can Epicenter win the Triple Crown?
