No they don't race the day afterwards and Live! on 4th or 5th (can't recall which it is) Street is really fun.

what I wonder is

Do they make everyone that ever reports on the Derby or any other race with a sponser - say The whatever race sponsered by _ _ _ ?
Do they lose their press pass if they just say Kentucky Derby instead of
The Kentucky Derby brought to you by Yum! brands

Doesn't it set the anti-slaughter mission back to have horses running around the track with "Yum!" printed on their saddle towels?

Seattle,
You didn't just realize these guys were the sponsor now compared to last year you hope. I'm not totally sure about this, but I'm pretty sure after Visa didn't renew their Sponsorship of the Triple Crown (thanks Smarty lol jk) 2 years ago, the Triple Crown and the KY Derby itself didn't have a sponsor for awhiole after that. Where Yum! Brands is messing up, is if they are the parent company of KFC and some other major brands, they should pick a major brand, and market that alone as the sponsor. And maybe if they have more than KFC, use KFC for the Derby, Taco Bell for the Preakness, and Poizaa Hut for the Belmont or somethin somethin bla bla bla bla bla
