I was born on Derby Day in 1947 and have been trying to find out what time the race began. (It is called "post time") My parents told me that I was "breaking out of the starting gate at the same time as the horses on that day." They crossed the finish line but I'm still running the race.
Each year, about 35,000 thoroughbreds are born and registered in the Jockey Club of American. Every one shares the dream of one day making it, and winning the Kentucky Derby. Out of these 35,000, only about 15,000 will make it to the track. Of those 10,000 only 20 can run in the Kentucky Derby, and out of those 20, only one horse can come out victorious. Therefore, the Kentucky Derby is one the most prestigious races in American, and with good reason, too.
Assuming you are speaking of the Kentucky Derby: This Grade I Stakes race is for 3-year-old Thoroughbreds of either sex. A Thoroughbred technically turns its next age on January 1 of any given year. Because horses generally are born between January and June, a horse entering the Kentucky Derby, which is held in May, usually will be 3-years-old both technically (because of the January 1 date) and actually (because most are born before the early May date of the Derby) -- but there may be as much as a 4- or 5-month difference in the actual ages of the horses in the Derby.
