The Kentucky Derby in 2020 was held on Saturday, September 5. This was a rescheduling from the traditional first Saturday in May due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 race was the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
In the 2020 race, Authentic was the winner, and it was notable that the race was delayed by about four months from its usual May date to September 5, 2020, to give horse owners and trainers better preparation time amidst the pandemic.
