About The Kentucky Derby

This two-day, tradition-rich event that dates back to 1875 is filled with parties, tours, mint juleps, beautiful hats, and race fans belting out, “My Old Kentucky Home.” In 1872, Col. M. Lewis Clark traveled to England to visit the Epsom Derby and inspired by his travels, was determined to make a spectacle horse racing event in the US. He arranged several local race supporters to be called the Louisville Jockey Golf club, and raised money to build a racetrack in Louisville. On May 17, 1875, the racetrack opened its gates and the Louisville Jockey Golf club sponsored the 1st Kentucky Derby. Over the course of three centuries it has embraced the change of time while continuing to honor the integrity of the spectacle race set forth by Meriwether Lewis Clark.
