Some Fact and
History about the Kentucky Derby.
Horse racing
in Kentucky dates back as far as 1789, when
the first race course was laid out in
Lexington. In 1797 Kentucky's first Jockey
Club was founded at a formal race meet, then
was reorganized as the Lexington Jockey Club
in 1809. "The Commons" the men who organized
this race meet, including Kentucky Statesman
Henry Clay, also formed the Commonwealth's
Jockey Club. The organization was named the
Kentucky Jockey Club in 1809. It was 66
years later in 1875, that Churchill Downs
officially opened and began its tradition as
"Home of the Kentucky Derby." The track
would eventually become known as "Churchill
Downs." The first reference of the name
Churchill Downs came in an 1883 Kentucky
Derby article reported by the former
Louisville Commercial. By 1920, the Kentucky
Derby had become the best known race in
North America and it was attracting the top
three-year-olds from all over the country.
Except for 1879 through 1895, when it was 1
½ miles, the Kentucky Derby has always been
run at 1 ¼ miles. In 1937, the track was
incorporated as Churchill Downs.
As the 2006
Kentucky Derby and Spring Meet approaches,
construction at Churchill Downs continues on
a strong pace. The 133rd Derby promises to
be one of the most exciting races of them
all. Do not miss out on all theTriple Crown
