Like any outdoor sporting event, the weather will play a factor in this year’s Kentucky Derby.
“Every horse is different and depends on a case-by-case scenario, but jockeys sometimes change horses’ hooves on Derby day to accommodate the cold, rain, or muddy track,” Peterson said. “It is a game-time decision, if you will, as the weather can change in a hurry.”
Today’s weather will be a bit warmer than the average high temperature on Derby Day, which is around 70 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
