For me, I love it because you have no idea what's going to happen when you climb onto that set... We've had everything from the rainiest Derby to the tightest finish with three horses in the Derby.
The one thing that is true across all of it, every place I go, every sport I cover, everybody tends to ask, 'Boy, what is it like to be at the Derby?'
It's not difficult math to figure out what that means for you since you know where you live but we don't.
From noon until 2:30 p.m. you can find the coverage on USA and Peacock. From 2:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. it's on the NBC.
