SIMONE Biles is adding yet another major accomplishment to her resume.

The record-breaking Olympic gymnast is adding horse racing to list of activities.

It was announced on Wednesday that Biles will serve as the Riders Up announcer at the 151st Kentucky Derby.

The Riders Up command is given before every Kentucky Derby and signals the jockeys to mount their horses.

It has become part of the ceremony to have a celebrity come to the race and give the command before the race.

Last year it was Martha Stewart who gave the command and Patrick Mahomes had the microphone in 2023.

The trend started in 2012, when Kentucky Wildcats basketball head coach John Calipari was given the call after winning the national championship.

Here are all of the Riders Up announcers since the tradition started:

In January of 2024 she was named Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year.

This year she was one of six athletes to be named to Time’s Most Influential People list.

The first time the announcer of Riders Up could vault the entire 20 horse field and land on her feet, if she wants to,” a third fan said.

The Kentucky Oaks is held on the Friday before the Kentucky Derby every year.

The 151st Kentucky Derby will run on Saturday, May 3. The main event is scheduled for 6:57 pm ET.
