Early weather forecasts for the Louisville area on Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve Day 2025 turned out to be… inaccurate. It didn’t matter as tens of thousands of fans attended a wet Churchill Downs on May 3 for a day spent eating, drinking, mingling, showing off fashion, and last but not least, betting. Our friends at Eclipse Sportswire were there to capture it all – enjoy this slideshow of fan activity on Derby Day plus a few racing photos.
