2012 KENTUCKY DERBY
May 5, 2012  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 4:00 p.m. ET

 

There are Stanley Cup playoffs and NBA playoffs all over the dial today, but attention must be paid to this first of the year’s Triple Crown events. It’s the 138th annual race from Churchill Downs – and this year, though Bodemeister (pictured) is the early favorite, there’s the sense that, with luck, anything can happen. And with HBO’s Luck still in recent memory, there’s a slight sense of foreboding as well.
