European horses can enter the Kentucky Derby.
The Kentucky Derby is only for three years olds. They cannot be older or younger.
A horse (cold, gelding or filly) may only run in the Kentucky Derby at the age of three-years-old. So the answer is that a horse can only run once. That's what makes it such a special win.
The horse has to be three years old.All horses are considered to have a "birthday" on January 1st, regardless of what was the actual date of birth of each horse. This can be a serious matter in the Kentucky Derby, where only "three year old" horses are eligible to run. If a horse was born on Dec. 31st, it is considered one year older than a horse born on Jan. 1st, and would therefore only be eligible to race in the Derby when it was chronologically less than two and a half years old.
The Kentucky Derby is a race for three year olds only and Curlin is four. He ran in it as a 3 year old and placed 3rd behind the winner, Street Sense, and 2nd place horse, Hard Spun.
