The Kentucky Derby

Today is the 144th running of The Kentucky Derby. It dates back to 1875. The winner of that race was Aristides and the jockey was Oliver Lewis. The most wins by a jockey is 5 with Eddie Arcaro and Bill Hartack each achieving that feat. I went to the race in 1997 and saw Silver Charm win the run for the roses.

I will leave you with a 100 year old whimsical song about horses.

I love the Kentucky Derby! One of these days, I'll go to see it. Years ago I visited Kentucky at the end of January - I absolutely loved it! I don't even know who's in the lineup this year. dunno
