The Kentucky Derby is one of the most iconic horse racing events in the world, held annually on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. This event attracts thousands of spectators from around the globe, all eager to witness the excitement and thrill of the "most exciting two minutes in sports."
