And
you
can
bet
there
will
be
celebrities
at
this
year’s
derby,
too.
Simone
Biles
will
tell
the
jockeys
to
get
ready
as
the “Riders
Up”
announcer,
and
Grace
Potter
will
sing
the
national
anthem.
In
fact,
the
three-time
Grammy
nominee
has
already
been
practicing
her
performance
of “The
Star-Spangled
Banner”
quite
a
bit—even
when
carpooling.
“When
I’m
picking
up
my
kid,
you
can
hear
me
going
‘and
the
rocket’s
red
glare’
in
the
car
as
I’m
coming
in,”
Grace,
who
shares
7-year-old
Sagan
with
husband
Eric
Valentine,
said
on
the
April
29
episode
of
Southern
Living’s
podcast
Biscuits
&
Jam. “They’re
like, ‘Oh,
here
comes
Ms.
Potter.'”
Fans
can
watch
the
daylong
coverage
of
the
Kentucky
Derby
starting
May
3
at
12
p.m.
EST
on
USA
Network
and
then
2:30
p.m.
EST
on
NBC—though
the
main
race
won’t
take
place
until
about
6:57
p.m.
EST.
And
while
the
event
has
been
dubbed
the “most
exciting
two
minutes
in
sports,”
the
memories
of
the
fashion
can
last
much
longer.
So
grab
your
mint
julep
and
scroll
through
the
looks
celebrities
have
worn
to
the
derby
throughout
the
years.
