History of the Kentucky Derby
The first Kentucky Derby was held on May 17, 1875, at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky and is the oldest consecutively held thoroughbred race in America. The first jewel of the Triple Crown, which includes the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness Stakes, the Kentucky Derby is a high stakes race for three-year-old thoroughbred horses. The fastest Kentucky Derby was run by Secretariat, who covered the 1 1/4 miles in 1:59 2/5. Known as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" for the approximate amount of time it takes all horses to cross the finish line, the Kentucky Derby is now held annually on the first Saturday in May and draws close to 155,000 hat wearing, mint julep drinking, fried chicken eating horse racing fans to its legendary stands and infield.

________________________________________________________________________________ MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME
By Stephen Foster The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
While the birds make music all the day. The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright;
By'n by hard times comes a knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home, Good-night! Weep no more my lady. Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song for my old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home, far away. | |

Location: Hunting Valley, Ohio | TRIPLE CROWN DRINKS:
__________________________________________
Kentucky Derby Mint Julep
Traditional drink of Kentucky and the Kentucky Derby. It has been served for hundreds of years to help cool down the hot Kentucky summers and is now served by the thousands on Kentucky Derby day at Churchill Downs. INGREDIENTS: - 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- fresh mint
- Crushed ice
- Kentucky Bourbon
PREPARATION: Prepare mint syrup by boiling sugar and water together for 5 minutes. After it cools, pour it over 6-8 sprigs of mint (bruised slightly to release the taste) and refrigerate overnight in a covered container.
__________________________________________
Black-Eyed Susan
Traditional drink of the Preakness. This is how it is served at the Alibi Breakfast at Pimlico and also to the fans at the Black-Eyed Susan and Preakness Stakes. Be careful as it is deceptively strong! INGREDIENTS: - 1 part Cointreau
- 1 part Mount Gay rum
- 1 part Vodka
- Pineapple Juice
- Orange Juice
PREPARATION: Fill a highball glass with shaved ice, add the liquors first, then top off with equal parts of orange and pineapple juice. Stir and garnish with a lime wedge.
__________________________________________
Belmont Breeze
The traditional drink of the Belmont Stakes since 1998. The previous drink was the White Carnation. This is the most expensive of the Triple Crown drinks at $10 a glass so you might want to try this one at home. INGREDIENTS: - 1 1/2 oz. Seagrams 7

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | Putting my dime on "Curlin", he blistered the field at the Arkansas Derby by 10 1/2 lengths. Ran in third place until the far end of the track, he never layed his ears back nor did the jockey ever put the whip on him, rounding the fourth turn, he just walked away from the field. He ran like it was effortless. Horse seems solid, they didn't run him as a 2yo, so maybe he'll be a pretty good 3yo, not all broken down before the race begins.The horse is three for three, so he looks pretty good to me. |

Location: Coconut Creek, FL | Actually they have only drawn the order of selecting the post positions - the actual post position draw starts at 5 pm. Surprisingly there have been quite a few winners from the far outside posts, so many in fact that it's not really considered all that bad a place to be. Several years ago, Neil Drysdale selected (post 15) for Fushaichi Pegasus since he was a nervous horse. He won the Derby with ease. Other winners from outside posts have included the following: '04 Smarty Jones #13, Monarchos #16, Charismatic #16, Grindstone #15, and Thunder Gulch #16 I went to the Derby in '82 and '88 and sat in the infield with 100,000 plus people - it was quite a party and experience to behold....
