Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
Churchill Downs race track hosts the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May each year, which means that the 131st Kentucky Derby should be starting in a few hours.
The record for Derby attendance is 163,628 in 1974 and a forecast of 78 degrees and sunny for later today is expected to help draw about 150,000 fans (including Michael Jordan and Usher).
