Today is the 2008 Kentucky Derby



About the Kentucky Derby
Welcome to the center of the Thoroughbred racing universe. Home to the longest continuously held sporting event on American soil. Like clockwork, every year on the first Saturday in May, Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky proudly opens its gates to thousands of horse-racing fans and a select field of the nation’s top 3-year-old Thoroughbreds.

Since 1875 Kentucky has marked the passage of time with the arrival of one, if not the most esteemed Thoroughbred racing events in the world. It’s the social event of the year in Louisville, and you'll be there to take in history, tradition and “the fastest two minutes in sports” all for yourself.
