The 2020 Kentucky Derby (officially, the 2020 Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve)[1] was the 146th Kentucky Derby, and took place on Saturday, September 5, 2020, in Louisville, Kentucky. The race is one of the three legs of the American Triple Crown, open to three-year-old Thoroughbreds. The Kentucky Derby was originally scheduled for the first Saturday of May, but the 2020 running was rescheduled to September 5, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Kentucky. It was won by Authentic.
As a result of Authentic's win, horse trainer Bob Baffert tied the record for most Kentucky Derby wins, at six.[2]
