The Kentucky Derby - The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports

The Kentucky Derby is held on the first Saturday in May each year at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Derby is the first of the three races that form the Triple Crown (along with Preakness and Belmont), and has been run since 1875. As a bonus, in addition to Saturday's Derby, the Kentucky Oaks, a race for three-year-old fillies, is run the Friday of Derby weekend. Kentucky Derby Tickets contd.

It is difficult to describe the electricity at Churchill Downs just before the bell rings, as 140,000+ fans anticipate the start of the most exciting two minutes in sports. Suffice it to say that people who go once tend to go back again.

The Derby is well known for the high-society crowd that graces the grandstand during the Run for the Roses. Kentucky Derby Tickets to the grandstand (not the infield) sell out early, and can be requested by writing to:
