It’s the perfect sporting event for a big drinking weekend with Cinco De Mayo, yelling at some of the fastest animals in the world to go even faster because you are trying to win your trifecta. Today is the biggest race in horse racing with the Kentucky Derby. Here is all the info from the horses who you will bet on based solely on their names because (like me) you know next to nothing about horse racing and where you can watch the race.
