Saturday night, that wasn't the case for the Boston Red Sox and the Kentucky Derby. Thanks to a perfectly-timed weather delay at Fenway Park, the members of both the Red Sox and the visiting Minnesota Twins were able to watch the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby on the big screen.

Historical data from the NWS in Louisville show Derbygoers to the 144th running of the race in 2018 experienced the wettest Derby on record. The data is for the entire calendar day with official observations for Louisville as a whole, rather than just Churchill Downs.

Rain is in the forecast for the 151st Kentucky Derby and could turn the Churchill Downs dirt strip into something resembling peanut butter.
