People streaming into Churchill Downs in Louisville on Saturday had to brace the elements … throwing on plastic over their nice clothes with a cloudy sky hanging menacingly above them.

Men in derby suits — some an eclectic mix of colors — looked like they were getting off Splash Mountain on Grad Night … hopefully those fedoras will keep their heads dry!
Some even went full Bubble Boy with their deployment of the rain gear … with this woman not willing to chance the plumes of her hat getting soaked.
The main event kicks off at 3:57 PM PT … and, as of right now, the Derby is expected to continue — though bettors may be changing the odds given the inclement weather.
Of course, big celebs also flew in for the event … with Anna Nicole Smith‘s daughter Dannielynn Birkhead wearing a vintage dress her mom donned at the racecourse many years ago.
The horse will be flying down the track in just a few hours … moving almost as fast as the guests who were running for rain cover.
