Kentucky Derby 2024: Time, date, TV, streaming and how to watch Churchill downs event
The post draw for the 2024 Kentucky Derby, which decides each horse's starting places, has been released. The 150th annual races will be held on May 4 at Churchill Downs in Louisville.
Several possible competitors, each with their own distinct strengths, have already caught the attention of observers. Forever Young, a Japanese horse trained by globally known horseman Yoshito Yahagi, starts the race week undefeated in his previous five races. A Japanese horse has never won the Kentucky Derby, but this year may be the first.
Fierceness is one of the most popular competitors among fans, with a team of competent trainers and jockeys looking for a win from the No. 17 post. Fierceness' jockey, John Velazquez, is a three-time Kentucky Derby winner, having won in 2011, 2017, and 2020, and is currently favored to lead the pack.
Last year's winner, Mage, defied the odds with a 15-1 long shot victory, serving as a stark reminder that in the Kentucky Derby, anything can happen.
