What happens when 'Star Wars Day' and the Kentucky Derby are on the same day? See it here
Saturday not only marks the 150th Run of the Roses, it is also "Star Wars Day," and the Kentucky Derby did not miss a chance for a crossover.
Steve Buttleman, the official bugler of Churchill Downs, did a rendition of the main theme of "Star Wars," which the Kentucky Derby posted on X, formerly Twitter. The account also published a movie poster with the names of the horses competing in the race and spaceships running with the horses in the iconic track.
