Saturday Quickies: Kentucky Derby 145 Edition

Good morning Big Blue Nation! It’s the best day in May as the running of the 145th Kentucky Derby is set to go today in what will probably be a rain soaked Louisville, Kentucky.

After heavy favorite Omaha Beach was scratched due to breathing problems, the field opened up. Yesterday the favorite was Maximum Security at 9-2 but that has changed.

Either way, the spectacle will go on as the Bluegrass State takes center stage on the televisions of millions around the country. The majesty of the Twin Spires will cast their mighty shadows into living rooms across the nation.
