KENTUCKY DERBY
Kentucky Derby
Churchill Downs Racetrack, Louisville, Kentucky, USA
Kentucky Derby is the most popular race in the US. It’s a Grade 1 competition held on the first weekend of May each year. It’s also nicknamed ‘The Run for the Roses’ as the winners of the race are covered up with a blanket of flowers.
The entire race lasts for about 2 minutes which is the reason why it’s also known as ‘The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports’.
While the Kentucky Derby is far from the most valuable horse race event, it’s hard to think of more famous horse races than this. It’s a three-year-olds only race and the US equivalent of the Epsom Derby. American bettors gambled an estimated $133,000,000 on the race in 2015 alone. That’s why the Kentucky Derby tops our chart as the biggest horse race on Earth!
Enjoy an amazing weekend of parties, people watching, fashion and Derby tickets for thrilling horse races. Get up close and personal to the action, explore beautiful Louisville, KY and spend a day on the Ohio river.
