History of Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby, also known as “The Run for the Roses” due to the bouquet of roses awarded to the winner, is the first leg of the American Triple Crown, which also includes the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. The event has a long and rich history dating back to 1875, when the first race was held. Since then, the Kentucky Derby has attracted the best three-year-old horses from across the United States and beyond, becoming one of the most important days in the American sports and cultural calendar.

The Kentucky Derby is known as much for its rich traditions as for its sporting competition. From fashionable hats and elegant attire to the traditional Mint Julep drink, and the famous songs such as “My Old Kentucky Home” played during the parade of horses before the race, these elements create a unique atmosphere that attracts viewers not only to the track but also to televisions worldwide.
