Kentucky Derby Horses 2019 Live



The 2019 Kentucky Derby takes place on Saturday, the first step in the chase to horse racing’s vaunted Triple Crown. Betting favorite Omaha Beach and contender Haikal are no longer running, adding some unpredictability into the field for the 145th Derby.

Even if you can’t make it to Churchill Downs to party on the infamous infield, you can still catch all of the action. Here’s how:

Larry Collmus, who has been calling thoroughbred horse racing for more than 34 years, is returning to call his ninth Kentucky Derby for NBC. Collmus is known as the voice of the Triple Crown, and has called some of the most historic races in recent years, including horse racing’s first-ever Grand Slam win by American Pharoah in 2015 (“A horse of a lifetime!"). But for Collmus, nothing matches the thrill of calling the Kentucky Derby.

“It is absolutely the race,” Collmus said during a conference call with reporters this week. “The thrill of 20 horses standing in the starting gate and you’re looking at them through your binoculars with sweaty palms in complete anticipation, there’s just no other feeling.”

Prior to joining NBC in 2011 (succeeding legendary broadcaster Tom Durkin), Collmus had a long stint calling races at Monmouth Park in New Jersey. In 2010, he became a YouTube sensation after calling a otherwise obscure race featuring two horses — one named Mywifenosevrything and Thewifedoesntknow.

“Mywifenosevrything! Thewifedoesntknow! They’re one-two! Of course they are! Mywifenosevrything in front, to the outside, Thewifedoesntknow! Mywifenosevrything! Thewifedoesntknow! Mywifenosevrything... more than Thewifedoesntknow! Whew."

The race featured an accident at the start, as Positive Spirit was bumped and flipped over, causing jockey Manny Franco to roll to the dirt. Both the horse and Franco appeared to come out of the crash okay.

The most anticipated race for female horses is the Kentucky Oaks, a $1 million Grade 1 stakes race featuring 3-year old fillies that takes place on the eve of the Kentucky Derby.

The 2019 Kentucky Derby, held on Saturday, May 4, 2019 (5/4/19) will be the 145th running of the horse race at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. A field of 19 horses will compete in the Run for the Roses and the $1.86 million prize.

The 145th running of the Oaks will be held Friday, May 3, 2019 (5/3/19) at Churchill Downs. Post time for the Oaks is 6:12 p.m. Eastern.
