There is not an official record of how many Kentucky Derby horses have been injured in the race. This is also because injuries may have been caused by the race but appeared later.
The Kentucky Derby field is limited to 20 horses. Some people think 20 horses are too many for a horse race, with the finish sometimes resembling a cavalry charge. However, that large of a field does offer many good betting possibilities.
Because the Kentucky Derby is for horses classified as three years old. This means they can only run once, when they are three years old.
The first Kentucky Derby was held in 1875, many years later than 1803.
The 134th Derby was run on 3 May 2008.Note: The Kentucky Derby was first run in 1875.

I was actually born in Kentucky and I can tell you that it is known mainly for 4 things and that is, of course, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and the nationaly famous Kentucky Derby (horse-racing/gamble money on a horse to win). Also Kentucky is sort-of known for the goldenrod which is thier national plant which is beautiful by the way. Also thier basketball team the Wildcats which have over 2000 wins!
A sport that is in kentucky is horse racing. There are over 500 farms in Kentucky alone, and many famous races such as the Kentucky Derby.
