The race often is called "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" in reference to the length of time the race takes. The Kentucky Derby in Louisville is also called "The Run for the Roses" for the blanket of 554 red roses draped over the winner. The inaugural race was run in 1875 and has since become a beloved institution. Visit the Kentucky Derby website for more information, including a list of past winners and the many traditions that surround the event.
