Horse Racing 2020 Kentucky Derby – Horse Country Connections September 1, 2020 It is finally upon us – the first Saturday in…September?! Yes, that’s right – the Kentucky Derby, famously run the first Saturday in May each year, was postponed to run September 5th due to COVID-19 (and ultimately without spectators!). And notably, in a racing year unlike any other, the Derby is now the second of Triple Crown race series instead of the usual first. Now that the race weekend is {finally} here, we’re looking at the line up and excited to share the many connections in the field to our Horse Country locations. Can anyone upset Tiz the Law? Whose your favorite? Constitution, who stands at WinStar Farm, is sire of 2020 Belmont winner and Derby contender Tiz the Law.
