Andrew Walker and Odette Annable Make Red Carpet Appearance at 2026 Kentucky Derby

Andrew Walker and Odette Annable brought Hollywood glamour to Louisville on Saturday, May 2, when they arrived at the 2026 Kentucky Derby held at Churchill Downs. The Hallmark Channel co-stars struck poses on the red carpet as they made their entrance to the storied racing event.

Walker, 46, cut a sharp figure in a light gray suit paired with a light blue button-up shirt and topped with a wide-brimmed hat. Annable, 40, turned heads in a flowing yellow silk dress.

The pair's Kentucky Derby outing was part of the promotional push for their upcoming film. The evening before the race, Walker and Annable, along with Walker's wife Cassandra Troy, attended the 2026 Barnstable Brown Kentucky Derby Eve Gala.

The two are starring in the Hallmark Channel film "Kentucky Roses," which explores an unlikely romance tied to the iconic race. According to the film's synopsis, the story follows "a greenhouse worker and the son of Churchill Downs' CEO form an unlikely pair, coming together to save the Kentucky Derby rose blanket and uncovering a generational love story along the way."

For Walker, the project marks another entry in his extensive Hallmark Channel filmography, but for Annable, "Kentucky Roses" represents her first venture with the network.

The film premiered on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, May 2 at 8pm ET.
