The Greatest Two Minutes In Sports. The Run for the Roses.

Whatever you call it, Kentucky Derby 148 is happening Saturday and after a couple of strange years, it's mostly back to normal.

So what do you need to know to prepare for Louisville's big day?

The Kentucky Derby is always the first Saturday in May, which this year is May 7. There are 14 races, which start at 10:30 a.m., with the actual Kentucky Derby race at 6:57 p.m.

Just prior to the big race, the contenders walk from the barn to the Paddock around 6:09 p.m. The "Riders Up" call, which will be performed by Louisville rapper Jack Harlow, signals the jockeys to mount their horses, and that happens around 6:37 p.m.

What to bring and what to leave at home

Each guest is permitted one bag no larger than 12" x 6" x 12".

You can't bring your own alcohol, backpacks, banners, tents, coolers, pets, selfie sticks, tripods, wagons or weapons. Full list here. You also can't bring umbrellas, but you can bring a poncho.

You can bring boxed lunches in clear plastic bags and two 24 oz. bottles of water that are sealed.

A few morning light showers and drizzle will start Derby Day on a damp note. Heading through the afternoon, we'll top out in the cooler 60s and trend drier. A few peeks of sunshine will be possible by the time the Kentucky Derby race goes off.
