All eyes are on Kentucky for the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Celebrities from the fields of music, sports, and television will be on hand watching and hoping that their horse wins them some nice cash. Last night featured many events for Derby Eve festivities. Country music singer, Justin Moore provided entertainment at Waterfront Park to a large crowd of fans listening to the music.

She has been spotted at several events, including getting on stage to sing with Easton Corbin at Fourth Street Live on Thursday night.
So who should one pick to win the Kentucky Derby? Marisa Miller told reporters, "Last year I won 3 times. I just pick the names I like. I heard there is a woman jockey this year so I think I will place a bet on her."
Carson Kressley said he liked Dialed In, but "I won't know until I see them tomorrow. You can't tell until you see them warm up."
University of Kentucky football coach, Joker Phillips, "I went with Backside and now I'm going with Shackleford."
