The Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is a unique challenge for 3-year-old Thoroughbred racehorses. Not only are talent, speed, and stamina tested as these racehorses navigate 1 ¼ miles for the first time, but the competitors must process far more information than ever before in a 20-horse field in front of 150,000 screaming fans. Winning the first jewel of the Triple Crown takes both elite athletic ability and a strong mind.
