The winner of the 2020 Kentucky Derby was Authentic. The race took place on September 5, 2020, delayed from its usual May date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Authentic, trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by jockey John Velazquez, won in a wire-to-wire fashion, holding off the favorite Tiz the Law to claim victory. This win tied Bob Baffert's record for most Kentucky Derby wins, with six titles. Authentic completed the 1¼ mile race in 2:00.61, the seventh-fastest time in Derby history
