horse racing results, thoroughbred racing In a few hours, we will know the horse racing results from the Kentucky Derby. It is being run today by a fine group of thoroughbred racing horses, and the spectacle of the event is second to none in the horse racing world. Big Brown is favored to win by 3-1 margins. The television coverage of the Kentucky Derby starts far earlier than the race itself, which is the shortest race in professional sports. It is held at Churchill Downs, in Kentucky.

The pre-race festivities include incredible food, drinks, and entertainment. Just watching the women's clothing is entertainment in itself. They wear incredible hats and dresses, but with today's cool temperatures and a 60% chance of rain, it's likely the women will be wearing matching jackets or sweaters with their spring garb, and carrying umbrellas, to boot. Well, the race is just hours away, and a wet track, should it actually rain, will be hard for all the horses. A dry, firm track is the best way for horses to run, so the race should be interesting to watch as all participants and onlookers keep an eye on the weather, and we anxiously await the horse racing results.
