For
over 125 years the Kentucky Derby has been everyone's race
- from the dapper men and beautiful women, all in hats and
sipping on frosty mint juleps, to the laid-back infield crowd
who picnic on fried chicken and toss around Frisbees.
They're all there to witness the world's premier horse-racing
event. "Riders up" booms the paddock judge. The
trainers give a leg up to the riders and send them out through
the tunnel and onto the world's most famous track as the University
of Louisville band strikes up Stephen Foster's "My Old
Kentucky Home".
Minutes later, a field of the best three-year-old thoroughbreds
breaks outs out of the gate with an explosion of pent-up energy.
The jubilant crowd yell in unison, "THEY'RE OFF"
and prepares to witness history in the making.
