Saturday will mark the end of the live horse racing season in Hot Springs, and the start of the Triple Crown with the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. “The Drive with Brad Bobo” brought in our expert handicapper, “The Railbird” Lang Wittman on Thursday afternoon to give us his look at the final two days of the meet at Oaklawn Racing Gaming Resort, and the Run For The Roses on Saturday evening.

Country stars have been known to talk DERBY.
As we approach the 2021 Kentucky Derby, happening May 1st, we thought it would be fun to round up a gallery of the hottest country stars to ever grace the “Greatest Two Minutes In Sports.”
So, pour yourself a Mint Julip, make a Derby Pie, put on your fanciest hat, and place your bets on the ponies that’ll win, place, and show at “The Run For The Roses.”
Check out our favorite pics below.
We guess that
Brooks & Dunn will probably bet on the #15 horse “Rock Your World.” With a 5-1 odds to Rock My World (Little Country Girl).”

Welcome to one of the new cultural features here at RedState. The Tavern is open.
Tomorrow is the Run For The Roses which, coming off of a scrambled racing season due to the pandemic, is making its traditional return to the first Saturday in May. Running for nearly 150 years, this is America’s preeminent horse race, and it is a pure Kentucky enterprise. Started by the grandson of William Clark, of Lewis and Clark fame, the British horse- racing tradition was brought to Kentucky in 1875. Its affiliation with bourbon is a constant.
The famed racecourse Churchill Downs operates on the Southside of Louisville, bourbon’s rooted home. It is estimated that somewhere close to one-third of all bourbon created is from this city, with new, larger distilling facilities cropping up on the regular. It then makes not just sense, but the perfect marriage, that America’s biggest horse race is joined by the lone, purely American spirit.
