Louisville, Ky. (AP) – Rain made for a soggy 151st Kentucky Derby Saturday, with the Churchill Downs Dirt Strip listed as fans of horse racing and horse racing protecting their hats and their fantasy clothes with transparent plastic ponchos.
A 19 -year -old scope of 3 years was to travel 1 1/4 miles for a price of $ 3.1 million and the Garland of Red Roses shortly after 7 pm.

Journalism was the favorite of the 4-1 bets in the hours preceding the most famous race in the United States.
The rain has fallen and extinguished throughout the day and the temperature of 60 degrees (15 Celsius) made it cool for horses and humans. This did not prevent fans from betting, drinking, eating, smoking and shopping for memories.
It was the first derby race on a sloppy track since 2019, when Country House won by disqualification.
