Very fast are the horses in the Kentucky Derby. The winning horses tend to run the 1-1/4 mile [2 kilometer; 10 furlong] racetrack in just over two minutes. But two horses have beaten even that speed. In 2001, Monarchos [b. 1998] had the winning time of 1 minute 59.97 seconds. The record still is 1 minute 59-2/5 seconds by Secretariat [March 30, 1970 - October 4, 1989] in 1973.
