Churchill Downs is still limiting admission, but about 45,000 fans are expected to watch Kentucky Derby 2021 live. We hope to see the return of some truly outrageous hats. Of course, those watching the race at home can mix their own mint juleps to enjoy together.
This year's field of 20 runners will run the 1.25-mile course in search of first place and $3 million in prize money. The Kentucky Derby is the first of the Triple Crown of horse racing, following the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
In 2020, it will be won by Authentic, trained by Bob Baffert, for his 17th Triple Crown victory, the longest in history. Current odds for Kentucky Derby 2021 favor Essential Quality, the 2-1 favorite. Baffert's Medina Spirit is the 11-1 favorite.
