The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the Triple Crown, a horse that wins the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes becomes the Triple Crown Winner
Kentucky...Plain and simple!
Because it is the first race in the Triple Crown and if a horse wins it then there is a possibility for a Triple Crown winner.

horse racing was probably the first sport to use the term triple crown. obviously, this term is used in other sports such as baseball, but it originated from horse racing.
Thoroughbred horse racing is the general use of the Kentucky Derby. The specific use within that general purpose is its role in determining the Triple Crown winner each year. The Triple Crown goes to the horse that manages to win the Belmont and the Preakness, in addition to the Derby.
