On the first Saturday in May, spectators will gather to the see an elite group of jockeys and race horses at the 148th running of the Kentucky Derby. First held in 1875 at Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, the Derby is the longest-running sports event in the United States. Dubbed the ‘Run for the Roses,’ the Derby features three-year-old thoroughbreds racing a distance of 1.25 miles. The event was started by Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., grandson of explorer William Clark, of Lewis and Clark Expedition fame. Clark, who was inspired by horse races he’d seen in Europe, raised the money to build Churchill Downs on land donated by his uncles. Today, some 150,000 spectators gather annually in May at Churchill Downs for the Derby, sometimes referred to as ”the greatest two minutes in sports.” Besides placing bets on horses, Derby fans are famous for drinking mint juleps, singing ”Old Kentucky Home” and wearing flamboyant hats. Welcome to ‘WIN, PLACE, SHOW’
