Kentucky derby History
The first Kentucky Derby run took place on May 18, 1875. It
was founded by Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr., who wanted a
track to rival England's Epsom Derby.
The Kentucky Derby itself was first run at 1½ miles, the
same distance as the Epsom Derby and the Grand Prix de
Paris, on May 17, 1875, in front of an estimated crowd of
10,000 horse racing enthusiasts.
The Kentucky Derby was just a regional race until 1902, when
Colonel Matt J. Winn saved Churchill Downs from bankruptcy.
He knew little about horse racing, but he was a great
promoter.
At the time, New York was the center of horse racing in the
United States, but Winn convinced many horse owners to
participate in the Kentucky Derby. By 1920, it was the most
famous horse race in North America.
In 1908, pari-mutuel machines were restored to bet on the
Kentucky Derby. The total amount people bet on the Derby
that year came to $67,570.
In 1911, Winn reduced the minimum betting amount from $5 to
$2.
Between 1931 and 1933, the race was interrupted because of
the Great Depression.
In 1983, Churchill Down became involved in off-track betting
operations in Kentucky and riverboat gaming. The one-day
gambling record was established on June 12th: $1,060,892.
Kentucky Derby Results
| 2011 Kentucky derby Winner
Animal Kingdom, winner of the 2011 Kentucky Derby with jockey John Velazquez. Though Animal Kingdom held worse than 20-1 odds in the derby, but the horse made its move on the outside as the field reached the final turn at Churchill Downs.
With Velazquez urging him on, Animal Kingdom reeled the field in and took hold of the lead down the home-stretch, opening up the margin as the wire approach. Though he did receive a challenge from Nehro late, it was never in doubt down to the wire as Animal Kingdom won the 2011 Kentucky Derby by more than a length.
