Horse News Reports from the Kentucky Derby

What, you didn't think we were called Horse News for nothing, right?

Hey there, folks! This is PonyToast, and I'll be reporting from the Kentucky Derby here in Louisville, KY. I garbed up like a spaghetti salesman and slapped on a Horse News reporter badge to give you updates on the races today, updated regularly.

Congratulations to California Chrome!



Here's the post for the race, which will run at approximately 6:20 EST. No, these horse names are NOT made up. You can watch the official Kentucky Derby livestream here. It only works if you have a cable subscription, completely defeating the purpose of a livestream.
