Below are the race-by-race schedules at Churchill Downs for both Friday (Oaks Day) and Saturday (Derby Day). All times are Eastern.
Churchill Downs will be offering the usual assortment of betting options, with a Pick 5 added to the mix this year. The Pick 5 will start on Race 7 on both Friday and Saturday and is a $0.50 minimum bet. Nice. Very nice.
UPDATED: This post will be our unofficial Kentucky Derby Bourbon post. Got a bourbon you like on Derby day...or any other day...chime in.
