We are not releasing a show this Thursday but you will be able to stream us live from Churchill Downs on Friday & Saturday.

Who's ready for 8 hours of happiness this weekend? To find us, look for ESPN Louisville's stream on iHeart or click "Listen Live" on the ESPN Louisville website.

Coverage starts at 1:00 pm EST both days as we take you right up to the HRRN coverage and then rejoin you for a recap shortly after the lilies and roses are handed out.

We want to hear from you this weekend, so be sure to tweet @HorseHappyHour with your questions or comments.
