Amid an altered Triple Crown schedule, the Kentucky Derby is finally here.
The Kentucky Derby is traditionally run as the first leg of the Triple Crown, but will be the second leg in this year's altered horse racing season. The race's 146th edition was postponed from the first Saturday in May to the first Saturday in September due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As a result of the schedule changes, the Belmont Stakes, which is typically the third leg, led off this year's Triple Crown. Tiz the Law won the race in New York, which was run at 1 1/8 miles instead of the usual 1.
