Good morning, BBN!

It is Derby Day in the Bluegrass State as all eyes in the sports world will turn to Churchill Downs for the 152nd Kentucky Derby.

The crowds have been filling up Louisville this week as racing fans flock to town to watch which horse will win the run for the roses. Giving our state a unique week overall as we celebrate an industry and a sport that means so much to many in the Commonwealth.

While I have no clue who to tell you to pick heading into tonight’s race, I know many of us across the state will be tuning in and celebrating the most exciting two minutes in sports.

At the moment, Renegade heads into tonight’s race as the favorite, sitting at 5/1 odds. Followed closely by Commandment at 6/1 and So Happy at 6/1. You wanna go real long shot, you can take Ocelli or Robusta at 99/1.

Should be a fun but cold day at Churchill Downs.

Let the racing begin!
