More than just a race, the Kentucky Derby is an experience. Known to many as the most exciting two minutes in sports, or how about the Run for the Roses, for the blanket of roses placed on the winner. The Kentucky Derby is a weekend of activities which begins on Friday with the Kentucky Oaks and finishes off with the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the American Triple Crown, and is followed by the Preakness Stakes, and then the Belmont Stakes. A horse must win all three races to be crowned with the Triple Crown.
