NEW YORK (AP) — Ashley Judd
is big on Kentucky sporting events. She cheered on the Kentucky
Wildcats during March Madness, and now she'll voice the opening of NBC's
Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
NBC says she's the first woman to
voice the opening of their Derby coverage since they started
broadcasting it in 2001. Judd, of course, is a famous Kentucky native
and graduated from the University of Kentucky.
The actress said
she's been attending the derby, the first in the Triple Crown of horse
racing, for years, and says narrating the opening is a sweet bouquet.
Just
over half, or 51 percent, of the Derby's audience is made up of women,
according to NBC, making it one of the few sporting events to have a
dominant female audience.
