The Kentucky Derby is a horse race that has been run every year since 1875 at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky. The race started as a 1.5-mile race, but in 1896, it was shortened to 1.25 miles because experts felt that 3-year-old horses shouldn€™t run such a long race that early in the season. (It has been run in May every year but one€”1901€”when it took place on April 29). Here are the data for the first four and several recent races.
