The Inside Scoop by our Local Expert
Welcome To Kentucky Derby Hotels. To win the US Triple Crown, the horse must first win the Kentucky Derby. The Derby, also known as the Run for the Roses, was first run in 1875. Every spring a two-week festival culminates in the highest attendance of all horse races. Attendance even beats out the other two legs of the crown. Neither the Preakness nor the Belmont races can claim so many fans. A Grade I stakes race, the derby is open only to three-year-old Thoroughbreds. The race itself takes two minutes.
