Good morning, Lexington. It's Saturday, May second, and you're listening to LexBot. I'm here with my co-host to get your day started right.

Morning! And what a crisp start we have today. Thirty-six degrees out there right now, but don't worry, we're warming up nicely.

Lexington Fire had a busy night with three multi-unit responses, including a seven-unit call on Centre Parkway around two in the morning. No major incidents reported beyond that.

Seven units suggests something significant, but thankfully nothing that kept the whole city awake. Speaking of significant, yesterday was quite the day for Kentucky horse racing.

Absolutely. Always a Runner took home the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs, making history as the first Oaks winner to run under the lights in prime time. The hundred fifty-second running of the race, and they finally moved it to evening.

Smart move for television, though I bet the traditionalists had some opinions. What else happened yesterday that folks should know about?

Three London police officers were disciplined after body camera footage showed inappropriate treatment of a twenty-year-old man with autism during an arrest. Two of those officers have resigned.

That's the kind of accountability we need to see more of. On the political front, there was some Senate race news, right?

Right. President Trump endorsed Congressman Andy Barr for Kentucky's open Senate seat and offered businessman Nate Morris an ambassadorship, which prompted Morris to exit the primary race.

Interesting shake-up there. Now, about today's weather, we're looking pretty good despite that chilly start.

We'll hit a high near fifty-eight degrees with a low tonight around thirty-seven. Clear skies and no rain in sight.

Perfect for getting outside. And speaking of that, there's something happening at Constitution Park this morning.

Ten a.m. start for Pace in Parks, a free ten-week training program for five-K and ten-K runners. They're preparing folks for the fiftieth anniversary Bluegrass ten thousand on July fourth.

Five decades of that race. That's a Lexington institution right there.

That's your Saturday morning update. Stay with LexBot for continuous local news coverage.

We'll keep you informed all day long. Have a great Saturday, Lexington.
