Churchill Downs announced April 23 that it will conduct a virtual running of the Kentucky Derby
during a May 2 telecast on NBC from 3-6 p.m. ET on the traditional day of the Kentucky Derby
Presented by Woodford Reserve (G1).
Called the "The Kentucky Derby: Triple Crown Showdown,"
the virtual race is a computer-simulated version of the American classic,
which was postponed this year from its traditional running on the first Saturday in May
to Sept. 5 because of COVID-19.
