It is run on the first saturday every May.

Oh you are talking about the race time.

It's mostly been 7 pm every time I've followed.

I know it is always the first Saturday in May. I was talking about time as in when today it goes off.

When NBC used to have hockey they used to have the Derby lead up to the 8 pm game so yeah they would race at 6:58 or whenever and have an hour long postgame show

6:57, it's why NBC extends coverage through 7:30 ET

It was a good race Trikari roared down the stretch and seized the lead late.

I don’t think it’s been outside the 6pm hour for a long time, but it has moved back, yes. They used to be off the air by 7

Gun Pilot (5-1) wins G1 Churchill Downs Stakes

 

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

Gun Pilot (5-1) wins G1 Churchill Downs Stakes

the 5 looked way better on the racing form than did that 10 horse. i never would have played that 10 horse based on it's pp's. only reason for me is the jockey-christian torres is a real good rider.

 

[GKJ]

Good explainer there about how pace makes the race 101

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Churchill passed $200 million with the most recent tabulation.

 

[GKJ]

[John Price]

Sierra Leone did well as the #2 which is traditionally hard to race from
