Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Full schedule for the week at Churchill Downs

Saturday will mark the 144th running of the Kentucky Derby, with three-year-old thoroughbreds flocking to Churchill Downs in Louisville for the most famous horse race in the world.

But before the first leg of the 2018 Triple Crown is run on Saturday there are several things leading up to the main event all week, including the draw, the fillies racing at the Kentucky Oaks, and the mint julep-filled festivities.

This year’s Kentucky Derby will start Saturday evening, and here are some things to remember for Derby week:

Post position draw

Entries in the 2018 Kentucky Derby and their post position will be revealed at 11 a.m. ET on Tuesday, broadcast on Facebook. Last year’s winner Always Dreaming started from the fifth post position.

Odds

The official morning line will be posted after the draw, but as of last Friday the favorite for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby was Justify at +300 (meaning a $100 bet would earn $300), per Odds Shark. Justify is trained by Bob Baffert, a four-time Kentucky Derby winner including in 2015 with Triple Crown winner American Pharoah.

Dawn at the Downs

If watching horses practice and waking up early is your thing, there are three days of morning action at Churchill Downs, watching horses train and the ensuing discussion each morning from Tuesday to Thursday from 6:30-8:30 a.m. ET. This is mostly for those on site in Louisville, but it might be worth following Kentucky Derby on Twitter and Instagram for these nuggets.

Kentucky Oaks

The race for three-year-old fillies is the main event on Friday, with a start time set for 6:12 p.m. ET. The race will be televised on NBCSN beginning at 5 p.m. and streamed online through NBC Sports Live Extra. The Kentucky Oaks undercard on Friday — which includes 10 races — will be televised on NBCSN from noon to 2:30 p.m.

Kentucky Derby

The post time for the big event is at 6:46 p.m. on Saturday. The race will be televised by NBC with coverage beginning at 2:30 p.m., as well as earlier coverage (noon to 2:30 p.m.) on NBCSN. Online streaming is available through NBC Sports Live Extra.

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Jon Gruden: I Get A Ton Of Calls From Players Who Are "Dying To Come And Play Here"

Imagen
The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Imagen
Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

Imagen
The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
