Put on your favorite fancy hat, prepare your best mint julep and strap in for the "Fastest Two Minutes in Sports." That's right, it's time for the Kentucky Derby.

The 2024 Kentucky Derby is a special one as it marks the 150th Run for the Roses. Churchill Downs will, as usual, be filled with Florida vibes as 14 of the 20 horses competing in America's most prestigious race have ties to the Sunshine Race. That includes the odds-on favorite Fierceness, who last ran to a victory in the Florida Derby, beating out fellow Kentucky Derby participants Catalytic and Grand Mo the First.

The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of horse racing's Triple Crown. After this is the Preakness on May 18 at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, and finally the Belmont Stakes on June 8 at Saratoga Race Course in Elmont, New York. There have been 13 Triple Crown winners, most recently Justify in 2018.
