Excitement is ramping up in the horse racing universe in anticipation of the 150^th running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on May 4. Derby contenders are shipping to Churchill Downs to get acclimated to the backstretch and train on the main track, and media coverage of the sport will reach a pinnacle over the next 12 days on all outlets – television, radio, and online streaming.

The Kentucky Derby Morning Works Show presented by Churchill Downs is underway and will continue through Thursday, May 2 – or “Thurby,” as it’s called in Louisville. The 20-minute show, which features analysts/handicappers Joe Kristufek, Kaitlin Free, Kevin Kilroy, and Tony Calo plus many guests throughout its run, airs at 7:25 a.m. ET on the Kentucky Derby’s Facebook, X/Twitter, and YouTube channels.
