Betting on the big race is always available in advance the day before — on Friday May 5th — and of course, Derby Day itself beginning at 10 AM. Get your best Derby attire and fancy hats ready, and we guarantee that bartenders at both locations will have Mint Juleps flowing! The Derby will go to post at 6:34 PM, but the first race at Churchill Downs goes off at 10:30 AM, so the spend the day at either OTB and enjoy the festivities.
