History of the Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbred horses, held annually on the First Saturday in May in Louisville, Kentucky at Churchill Downs. The race is known as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" due to its running time, and it is the first leg of the American Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. It is also one of the most popular horse races in the world and attracts millions of viewers each year.

The Kentucky Derby was first run in 1875 and has since become a cultural icon in the United States. The race is steeped in history and tradition, with iconic elements such as the singing of "My Old Kentucky Home," the garland of roses presented to the winning horse, and the elaborate fashion worn by spectators.
