Presentation of the Kentucky Derby competition

The Kentucky Derby is one of the most famous tournaments in the world. It takes place at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky, in the United States. It is one of the most prestigious thoroughbred races in the world, held on the first Saturday in May. The 2.4km event attracts three-year-old horses and is often referred to as the 'Race for Roses' due to the tradition of the winning horse being adorned with a garland of roses. It is an iconic event in the US horse racing calendar, combining tradition, elegance and sporting excellence.

Highlights from the Kentucky Derby competition

The Kentucky Derby is full of memorable moments. By the way, the athletic horse Secretariat set an impressive time record in 1973, winning by a lead of 2.5 lengths, a record still unmatched. There were also feats such as :

• The longest winning outsider: In 1913, Donerail won the race with odds of 91 to 1, which remains one of the biggest upsets in the history of the race;
• The 1918 derby: The race took place during the First World War, and the horses were at the start, but the victory was marred by problems of fuel restrictions and circumstances linked to the war;
• Maximum Security disqualified: In 2019, Maximum Security crossed the line first, but was disqualified for interference, giving victory to Country House, the second horse to cross the line ;
• First victory for a woman trainer: In 2018, Justify, trained by Bob Baffert, won the race, giving jockey Katie Walsh her first victory as a woman trainer of the Kentucky Derby winner;

These moments have contributed to the enduring legend and fame of the Kentucky Derby.
