Irvin Cobb wrote long ago, "If you ain't ever been to the Kentucky Derby, you ain't been nowhere and you ain't done nothing."
It's the only place to be on the first Saturday in May. Here I am (right) paddock side at the Kentucky Derby. The Kentucky Derby, "the most exciting two minutes in sport," is one of the three races that make up horse racing's Triple Crown. The race has been held at the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky since 1875. The race is held on the first Saturday in May.
