What time does 2025 Kentucky Derby start? What TV channel?

Let’s get right to the point. The Kentucky Derby is set to start just before 7 p.m. EDT Saturday in the commonwealth of bourbon and horse racing.

To be even more specific, post time is 6:57 p.m. EDT, although it’s not uncommon for it to be a few minutes later. But not too many minutes, just a couple.

It’s not difficult math to figure out what that means for you since you know where you live but we don’t. So, let’s go down the list.

  • On the East Coast it’s the same, 6:57 p.m.
  • If in the Central time zone, say Chicago, it’s 5:57 p.m.
  • Moving West to the Mountain time zone, we’ll say Boulder instead of Denver for no particular reason, it’s at 4:57 p.m.
  • And finally, the time zone that most readers of the Times care about which covers the West Coast, it will be at 3:57 p.m.

It’s pretty much been at the same time for quite some time. But, some of us can’t remember what we had for dinner last night so it’s not unreasonable to assume you can’t remember the time of a horse race from a year ago.

There is also some familiarity of where to find it on television or one of your streaming services. This will be NBC’s 25th presentation of the Derby.

Mike Tirico will be the host for the ninth time.

“For me, I love it because you have no idea what’s going to happen when you climb onto that set,” Tirico said. “We’ve had everything from the rainiest Derby to the tightest finish with three horses in the Derby, to horses being disqualified, to everything imaginable.

“The one thing that is true across all of it, every place I go, every sport I cover, everybody tends to ask, “Boy, what is it like to be at the Derby?”

OK, enough of the reminiscing. Where can you find the coverage?

For simplicity sake, we’re going to use Louisville time, so those in Los Angeles can subtract three hours.

From noon until 2:30 p.m. (or 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.) you can find the coverage on USA and Peacock. From 2:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. (11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) it’s on the NBC stations and, of course, Peacock. What’s not on Peacock?

Now in Los Angeles and New York, it’s on Channel 4. Chicago is Channel 5 and in Denver/Boulder it’s Channel 9.

Finally, if you are at a Kentucky Derby party with a Derby pool, the horse you want is Journalism. He’s a Santa Anita horse that has just been fantastic. His win in the Santa Anita Derby was breathtaking, not because of his dominance but the amount of trouble he had to overcome to win.

As for what to wear, if you’re a woman, a fancy hat. If you’re a man, well, it doesn’t matter because everyone will be looking at the hats.

Finally, the mint julep is a vile almost undrinkable beverage. But, if you must, drink with a straw from the bottom. That’s where the sugar is.

Prep talk: L.A. Jordan’s David Sandy will walk on at Sacramento State

David Sandy, a standout football and volleyball player at L.A. Jordan who became a community hero, said he plans to walk on at Sacramento State.

He received received a $48,000 scholarship as a Watkins fellow.

Here’s a story from 2023 on Sandy’s impact at Jordan.

He led Jordan to the City Section Division II championship as a junior with 2,904 yards rushing and 39 touchdowns. This past season he gained 2,572 yards and scored 28 touchdowns while making 95 tackles.

“It’s refreshing to find an amazing athlete that that brings a hopeful future for our children,” former Jordan coach Derek Benton said last December. “I thank God for his life and his future.” …

Mira Costa will play rival Redondo Union in the Southern Section Division 1 girls’ beach volleyball championship match on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Long Beach City College.

How to have the best Sunday in L.A., according to Paul Feig

Onscreen, multihyphenate screenwriter-director-producer Paul Feig is best known for fun and funny films such as “Bridesmaids,” “Last Christmas” and “A Simple Favor.” And offscreen, he’s known for his impeccable sense of style, enthusiastic embrace of cocktail culture (his Artingstall’s gin brand makes frequent cameos in his movies) and, it turns out, a penchant for all things spicy.

In Sunday Funday, L.A. people give us a play-by-play of their ideal Sunday around town. Find ideas and inspiration on where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on the weekends.

“I am so much about hot, hot heat,” he told The Times in a recent interview. “I just love [heat]. I can’t eat anything without putting some kind of a hot sauce on it. I think it’s because when I was a kid, all the food in Michigan at that time was so bland I thought I hated food. It turns out I hated bland.”

In advance of his latest work — the thriller “Another Simple Favor,” which started streaming on Amazon Prime Thursday — I buttonholed the dandy director about his ideal Sunday, which includes browsing for western wear, taking in a ball game, doubling down on Mexican fare and satisfying that spice tooth at every opportunity.

This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for length and clarity.

7 a.m: Water or a walk
I always try to sleep in, and it just never happens. So if I sleep until 7, that’s kind of a miracle for me. I like to get up and either do water aerobics for my exercise in our pool or I’ll do a one-hour, four-mile walk through my Toluca Lake neighborhood, which is really nice. And that always ends with me going to Patys coffee shop at the end of my walk.

8 a.m.: Pop into Patys
I’ve been going there for 30 years and eating breakfast there forever and ever. But Sunday is kind of fun because there are more people there, and it’s a great local hangout. I get there early — they open at 8 — because it gets crowded later on Sundays. My main order is to get this [dish] called the Power Lunch but for breakfast. It’s a grilled chicken breast, and I get it with a double side of steamed broccoli instead of rice. And I don’t get any bread, but I do order a side of salsa. That’s my healthy meal. And if I want to cheat a little bit, they have really good gluten-free pancakes there, so I’ll get that with sausage.

10 a.m.: Browse western wares
After that, I’ll walk home and maybe jump in the pool and then shower and head out to a few of the stores I like to visit all the time and I have this country [and] western wear circuit. I’m obsessed with this place in Van Nuys called Country General Store because I’m really into cowboy boots. And they’re one of the last places that carries a lot of Lucchese boots and they’re my favorite brand. They’re always getting new ones in, so I’ll go and check out the new selection. And they have good hats there too.

There’s also a place in Beverly Hills called West that’s got really cool boots and really cool men’s jewelry, so I like to go there. And a place on Sunset called Boot Star that always get lots of vintage western wear. That’s actually where I got the outfit that I wore to South by Southwest — the coat with the fringe on it is a [Mealey’s Pitic Leather Handcrafted] jacket from the ’70s. Doing the whole circuit is really fun. It takes a few hours, but most of that’s driving around. And then I’ll pop into each place for like five or 10 minutes.

Noon: Indulge a hankering for hot sauce
That takes me to about lunch, which would be one of two places. If I ended up in Beverly Hills — well, this wouldn’t count if it was Sunday because they’re closed, but [I’m mentioning it because] Brighton Coffee Shop has the best hot sauce. I get the breakfast quesadilla, which they serve with this hot sauce they make in-house that’s incredibly good and really hot. I just slather it on, and the [waiter is like,] “Sir, you know that’s hot.” And I’m like, “Don’t worry! I like it really hot!” It kind of burns the s— out of my mouth. But it’s really tasty.

If I’m going back to the [San Fernando] Valley, I’ll go to Don Cuco [Mexican Restaurant] — the original one on Riverside Drive, not the one in downtown Burbank. It’s my favorite place for old-school L.A. Mexican food. It’s been there forever. The waiters are really nice, and some of them I’ve known since they were busboys, so it’s fun to see them. My favorite is the cochinita pibil. It’s a slow-roasted pork they make days in advance so it just falls apart, and they serve it with plantains. I get that with the standard black beans — not the creamy ones — and a side of tortillas. And the Don Cuco’s house salsa is great.

3 p.m.: Down for the Dodgers
If there’s a Dodgers game, I love to do that because I have season tickets and I just love going to a ballgame. I was at the game where they beat the [New York] Mets to get into the World Series. And I went to Game 2 of the actual World Series, but I wasn’t there the night that Freddie Freeman hit the walk-off grand slam. I was in New York that night watching in my apartment and made so much noise the doorman called and said, “I think the neighbors are worried about you.”

If there isn’t a game, we have this sort of covered indoor-outdoor patio space [at home] next to the pool, so I’ll sit under that and catch up on my showbiz reading — scripts that we’ve been sent, scripts that we’re developing, new drafts [of scripts]. Then, when the sun isn’t blasting down anymore, I’ll get back in the pool.

6 p.m.: Mix up a creative cocktail
This [part of the evening] could involve opening a nice, light rosé like a Château Minuty. And there’s always time for a cocktail. I’m usually a martini fanatic, but I’m trying not to get too blasted on a Sunday, so I’ll do a gin and soda. There’s a drink called Ranch Water that’s tequila, lime juice, a little bit of Cointreau and Topo Chico. I’ve created my own version of that called Palace Water. I like to use a little bit of Grand Marnier. It’s a little orangey and binds it all together.

7:30 p.m.: Head to the Gardens of Taxco for takeout
Now we get to dinner and I love Mexican food, so I have no problem doubling down on Mexican. Do you remember the Gardens of Taxco restaurant in West Hollywood? Well, it’s gone now. It closed a few years ago, which was gutting to me because I used to eat there two or three times a week. But they still cook the food [for pickup or delivery] right on Santa Monica Boulevard [in West Hollywood], and the food is just as good as it was. I get the [Salsa de Ajo Picante] garlic shrimp, and instead of rice and beans, they do sauteed vegetables for me. And they have a little quesadilla with guacamole and they always give you this little pudding[-like dessert] with bananas in it. So I’ll drive over and pick that up.

Or I might go to a friend’s house for dinner. For years and years, the every-Sunday thing for my wife, Laurie, and I was to have dinner with our friends Betsy Beers and Bruce Cormicle. She’s Shonda Rimes’ business partner, and he’s a lawyer who does legal consulting for some shows and is an amazing cook. He always cooks these big feasts at their house in Brentwood, and there’s always a theme: Sometimes it’s a Mexican theme, sometimes it’s a French theme, sometimes it’s seafood. And it’s fantastic. I mix martinis, and we have a great time.

9:30 p.m.: Wind down with true crime — and maybe a martini
We’re not late-nighters really, so we’re usually home by 9 or 9:30 p.m., and then it’s “What are we gonna watch?” It’ll either be a movie or TV, and there’s so much out there I try to avoid getting caught up in a TV show that has a million episodes because I’ll get hooked in. And then it becomes this whole thing, so I’d rather find a series where you’ve got three episodes, or a great movie or documentary. I really liked “Apple Cider Vinegar” and the true-crime story [“Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke”] about the Mormon YouTube mom. We’re in the age of the con man, and I’m just fascinated by human nature and what people think they can get away with.

But sometimes, if we get back early enough, I’ll go over to the Smoke House [Restaurant], which is right by our house, and have an end-of-the-night martini. Oh, and everyone talks about the garlic bread there, but they make great hot wings.

How to have the best Sunday in L.A., according to Taylor Tomlinson

Taylor Tomlinson, the comedian and writer who has hosted the CBS talk and variety show “After Midnight” for two seasons, has lived in Los Angeles for nine years. But thanks to a robust stand-up schedule (her now-in-progress “The Save Me Tour” has 76 dates booked across North America and Europe through January, including an L.A. hometown show scheduled for Aug. 10 at the Greek Theatre), she’s only around L.A. for about 20 Sundays a year.

In Sunday Funday, L.A. people give us a play-by-play of their ideal Sunday around town. Find ideas and inspiration on where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on the weekends.

“I try to do two weekends on the road a month,” Tomlinson said. “But sometimes it ends up being three. Usually my Sundays are spent flying home, and I’m doing my leisurely things on a Tuesday at noon.”

She was more than happy to plot out a Sunday plan that doesn’t involve “a layover sitting in a coffee shop in the Phoenix airport.” It would start with making some matcha and head toward a close with sushi and a movie. In between, she’d hit a flea market, a bookstore (to score some spiral-ring notebooks) and the outdoor spaces at the Huntington.

This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for length and clarity.

9 a.m.: Whisk up some morning matcha
In my perfect world, I’d fall asleep at midnight and get nine hours of sleep, which would be perfect. I am not somebody who can handle coffee because I get headaches. So I usually make matcha at home with unsweetened almond milk, and I add cinnamon and usually use a little bit of vanilla protein shake as creamer in it. And I do it iced.

I go to a lot of coffee shops when I’m on the road and always have to ask if their matcha is presweetened, because a lot of places make it with honey or sugar already in it. But more mainstream places are getting unsweetened, ceremonial-grade matcha, and that’s what I use. I’ve got one of those bamboo whisks, and I like the whole routine of boiling water and then whisking in the matcha powder. I really feel like I’m doing something.

9:30 a.m.: Back to bed with a book
Then I’d bring my matcha back to the bed and I’d read for a bit. I really struggle with letting myself read for fun, because, for a long time, I wouldn’t read anything that wasn’t teaching me something or had some sort of self-improvement element to it or was about comedy or business.

I’m working on a book of my own right now, so I’m currently reading Chuck Palahniuk‘s “Consider This: Moments in My Writing Life after Which Everything Was Different,” and for fun I’m reading “The Dragon Republic,” the second book in R. F. Kuang’s “The Poppy War” series.

10:15 a.m.: Self-scramble some breakfast
I like going out to breakfast when I’m on the road but, when I’m home, I like to cook for myself. So I’ll do a scramble with some eggs, turkey, zucchini, spinach and bell pepper and then top it with some avocado.

11:45 a.m.: Make for the Melrose Trading Post
This might [sound like] a really basic Sunday, but I’m not in L.A. very much. So I would go to the Melrose Trading Post [flea market] over at Fairfax High School with some friends of mine because it’s a way to socialize. Zach Noe Towers and Sophie Buddle and I do [stand-up comedy on] the road a lot together, and when we’re home on a weekend, this is something we do together.

I’ve bought a lot of leather jackets there. I have way too many jackets — an insane collection of jackets. It’s a real problem. I bought a weird lamp there. I think the last thing I bought there was this wardrobe [from J. Martin Furniture] that was green, and they said they would paint it any color I wanted and have it delivered. So I had them paint it a dusty rose that matches the flowers on these vintage pillows I had just gotten for my bed. The wardrobe fills out the one blank wall I had left in the bedroom. It’s really cute and makes me really happy.

They have food and music and stuff to drink too. Last time we went we got some Thai food from a truck and hung out for a bit.

2 p.m.: Vroom over to Vroman’s
From there I’d head to Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena, which I hadn’t been to until very recently. It’s a huge independent bookstore, and they have literally everything there — books, gifts [and] stationery — so I’d probably buy a notebook. I’ve got so many notebooks. The two things I overbuy the most are vintage jackets and notebooks. I use different types of notebooks for different [purposes], but they’ve all got to be spiral-ring.

I like [notebooks] that are long and skinny for my set lists. I like stenographer’s notebooks for new jokes because [the pages] have a line down the middle; I use one side for jokes I know work and one side for jokes I’m not sure about yet. And I like a really big notebook to journal in. Then there are the kind I find at flea market vendors when I’m on the road where they turn old children’s books into notebooks and leave part of the [original book] text in between the [blank] pages. This one [she holds aloft a spiral-ring notebook with the title “Peter Pan” on the cover] is by Red Barn Collections. I think I picked it up at a flea market in Salt Lake City.

3 p.m.: Head to the Huntington
If I didn’t sit and write in the cafe at Vroman’s, I’d head to the Huntington. I’ve been a member there for years, and sometimes when I have a whole day off, I’ll go there for awhile. I’d either go to the side area where there are a few chairs and sit and read or go to one of the benches that overlook the Japanese garden. If I was writing, I’d do that in the cafe.

5:30 p.m.: Sushi in Studio City
Since the Huntington closes at 5 p.m., I’d head to this sushi place in Studio City that I love called Sushi Tomoki that opens at 5:30. I like to get there right when it opens because it fills up so fast. And it’s so good, and the service is fast even when they’re packed.

7 p.m.: Take in a movie at Universal CityWalk
Since I’m in Studio City and my group of friends and I are all AMC Stubs A-List members, I’d go to Universal CityWalk to catch a movie. CityWalk is what it is, but it’s close to the sushi place. And the AMC theater there is really good. If you go with a bunch of friends, you can split the cost of parking. I love to talk about the movie afterward, so instead of just standing by the car talking about it, we can walk around [CityWalk] and talk about it. The last thing I saw there was “Paddington in Peru.”

10:30 p.m.: Tea time before bedtime
At this point it’s probably pretty late when I get home, so I’d probably drink some tea — I do a licorice or a ginger tea at night — shower and then read for awhile. Or maybe do some journaling or doomscrolling in bed, depending on what my mood is. And hopefully fall asleep by midnight.
