The Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, May 4, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. While there are races all day, the biggest horse race of the year -- called, appropriately, the Kentucky Derby -- starts at 6:50 p.m. ET. If you aren't going to Derby, you'll need to know how to watch the race and which horses to bet on (Tip: watch for Bob Baffert's horse!). Plus you may need to learn how to mix up a mint julep cocktail!
