Essential Quality is the 2-1 favorite for the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby, which is returning to its traditional first Saturday in May this weekend after being delayed to September last year due to the pandemic.

Fans will be allowed at Churchill Downs, but at limited capacity. Post time on Saturday will be at 6:57 p.m., but coverage on NBC will begin hours earlier at 2:30 p.m. ET.
