KENTUCKY DERBY TIME

Did you watch the Derby on Saturday?  

It truly lived up to its reputation as the

“most exciting two minutes in sports.”  

The Kentucky Derby is the kick-off of the Triple Crown

(Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes)

where only 13 horses over a 150-year span have won all

three with the first winner in 1919 and the most recent in 2018.

Secretariat, the fastest Triple Crown winner, swept the 1973 series in record-setting time with the fastest combined time

across all three races and still holds the individual speed records for the

Kentucky Derby(1:59), Preakness Stakes(1:53), Belmont Stakes (2:24),

with his 31-length victory in the Belmont often considered the greatest performance in horse racing history

The 153rd Kentucky Derby features two days of racing

(Oaks on Friday and Kentucky Derby on Saturday) and is scheduled for

April 30 and May 1, 2027, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY.
