The Kentucky Derby
The Super Bowl of horse racing goes this Saturday, May 3rd, with the 134th running of the Kentucky Derby taking center stage in the sports world. The Kentucky Derby is the first leg, and the crown jewel of the famously difficult Triple Crown, which includes the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness Stakes.
The festivities actually start on Friday May 2nd, with several big purses up for grabs (over $1 million) at the storied Churchill Downs track.
But Friday's lineup is a just a "taster" to get everyone ready for a $5 million Saturday, highlighted by the biggest racing event in North America, the Kentucky Derby.
