Betting on Triple Crown Showdown

With the Kentucky Derby’s traditional time slot left vacant because of the COVID-19-caused postponement, NBC will be filling part of its programming void this Saturday with a computer-generated fantasy race matching the 13 horses to win the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes: the Triple Crown Showdown.

Bovada, one of the world’s leading online sportsbooks, has released odds on the race. Check them out here, and below - https://www.bovada.lv/sports/horses-futures-props/this-week-s-big-races/virtual-kentucky-derby-202005021600

Secretariat, considered by many as the most talented and iconic Thoroughbred to have raced in America, has been established as the favorite for the virtual Kentucky Derby.

I figure you might want to include in an upcoming article and/or tweet the odds out.

Appearance on 'The Science of..." Air Temperature and Tennis on 11 Alive NBC Atlanta

Thought 11 Alive in Atlanta did a great job with this piece. Meteorologist, Chesley McNeil joined me for this piece talking about heat and tennis and my intern, Louis, was the tennis player. Don't miss his "tweener."
