The Latest: Rain, heavy overcast skies at Churchill Downs

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The Latest on Saturday’s 145th running of the Kentucky Derby (all times local):

1:10 p.m.

Morning showers have given way to heavy overcast skies at Churchill Downs, though another wave of rain is expected before the Kentucky Derby goes off later in the day.

Spectators seem prepared for the elements, with some carrying ponchos because umbrellas are banned. The forecast hasn’t prevented many from wearing colorful outfits and fancy shoes, though quite a few are wearing rain boots as a precaution.

A few rain-free hours have helped the main dirt track stay fast with the turf track listed as firm.
