Louisville | There's no news unless it's Derby news

The famous Kentucky Derby horse race in Louisville, Ky., is Saturday (by tradition, it's always the first Saturday in May). But I thought it was today, when I surfed over to The Courier-Journal's website. The screenshot I just took, below, shows the top half of the homepage. Every inch of that prime real estate is given over to the race -- and it's still 96 l-o-o-o-n-g hours until post time.
