Every year, the Kentucky Derby, a 1.25-mile thoroughbred horse race, takes place in

Louisville, Kentucky.

The Kentucky Derby is known as “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports”.

The Derby is also known as “The Run for the

Roses” because of the lush blanket of 554 red roses awarded to the

race winner each year.

The Kentucky Derby is the first in a series of coveted Triple Crown races, which also include the

Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
