2010 Kentucky Derby Facts
The Kentucky Derby is a Grade 1, mile-and-a-quarter stakes race for thoroughbred three-year-olds. The race is open to colts, geldings, and fillies. Colts and geldings carry a weight of 126 pounds, and fillies carry 121 pounds.
Each year, the Kentucky Derby attracts the best horses, jockeys, and trainers in North America. According to tradition, women wear lavish, colourful hats to the event, spectators drink mint juleps, and “My Old Kentucky Home” is sung just before the race starts. The race marks the first leg in the US Triple Crown for thoroughbreds, and is the finale of a two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival in Louisville.
Traditionally, the Kentucky Oaks stakes – often considered the “Derby for Fillies” – is raced the day before the Kentucky Derby.
