The Kentucky Derby would be considered a part of history, especially that of the state of Kentucky. The Derby has been around more than 100 years.
The Kentucky Derby didn't begin until 1875.
The Kentucky Derby is run on the first Saturday in May. But for the horses who run in the race, training starts long before. They train for months just for this won race, because it's a part of history.
For horses, the Derby in America, known as the Kentucky Derby, is run in Louisville, Kentucky, on the first Saturday in May every year.
