The Kentucky Derby: The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports
The Kentucky Derby has been called “the most exciting two minutes in sports” and the big hats and Mint Juleps are just as much of the fun. The Kentucky Derby is a time-honored tradition and a celebration of Southern culture, but it all started with one man and his trip across the pond. The first race left the gates on May 17, 1875, and has been a yearly tradition since 1932.
