I completely forgot the Kentucky Derby even existed, until my sister mentioned it in the family group chat right as they were loading in the horses. Whoops! Apparently these folks did NOT forget, because several of them had large hats ready for the occasion. Including Ms. Sheryl Lee Ralph; I turned on the broadcast just in time to see a super pretentious NBC package that they hopefully paid her very well to narrate. It reminded me how little I appreciate the heavy hand of their sports department, which means I’ll be watching a LOT more of the bare-bones Peacock feeds during the Olympics.
