The 140th running of the Kentucky Derby will take place this Saturday on May 3, 2104 at Churchill Downs. A long-standing American tradition, it is held annually in Louisville Kentucky on the first Saturday in May. Often referred to as the “fastest two inutes in sports”, the race is scheduled to start at 6:24 pm Eastern Daylight Time. Coincidentally, Cinco De Mayo celebrations will take place over the same weekend to commemorate Mexico’s victory over France, most assuredly lending ample reasons for celebration.
