Churchill Downs announces Derby health protocol

Officials with the Kentucky Derby have released their health and safety protocols for this year’s event. September 5th’s Run for the Roses will call for a 40% maximum occupancy. That’s 14% of the record attendance in 2015. Fans will be limited to reserved seating, meaning tickets for the infield and standing room only will not be allowed. Masks, temperature check, and social distancing will be enforced. The Derby is the country’s longest-running sporting event.
