The 2021 Kentucky Derby -- which is the 147th running of the event -- is set for Saturday, May 1 at 6:30 p.m. ET in Louisville, Kentucky at Churchill Downs.

Last year, the Triple Crown schedule was altered due to the coronavirus pandemic, but this year they are back on track to their usual order. In 2020, the Kentucky Derby was the second leg of the Triple Crown and this year it is back to the first leg of the three-race series.

Fans were not able to attend last year's Kentucky, but this year there are fans likely to be in the stands, though it will not be full capacity. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says he expects a limited number of fans to attend the historic race.
