The Derby is held annually in Louisville on the first Saturday in May, at the end of the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival. It is a Grade I stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds at a distance of 1 1⁄4 miles (2.0 km), and has been run at Churchill Downs racetrack since its inception in 1875.

The race features 2o of the country's best three-year-old thoroughbreds -- horses that have beaten out thousands of others to win spots in what is often called the most exciting two minutes in sports.
