Virtual Kentucky Derby on TV Saturday
 
If anyone is interested, The Kentucky Derby is being "run" virtually on Saturday, May 2, just like it has been the last 150 years or so except of course this time they can't do it for real so they are using a computer programme to run it with the best 18 Triple Crown Winners of all time.
It is a fund raiser for Covid 19 research, as well.

It is on NBC between 3pm and 6 pm. The race will ( I think ) be around 5:15 or so.

My money is on Sectratariat, but he has a yucky post position, so just like a real race, who knows?.

well, dang! We totally lost track of the day! Instead did lots of housework. Watson--who won? Thanks!

Secretariat of course! Followed by Citation and Seattle Slew, I believe.

It was quite well-done, although in real life, Secretariat would have won by a lot more lengths, as he still holds all the records from 47 years ago!
