'My Old Kentucky Home' is played at the Kentucky Derby by the University of Louisville Marching Band while the horses are paraded to the starting post. It was composed by Stephen Collins Foster [July 4, 1826 - January 13, 1864]. It has been part of the traditions of the Kentucky Derby since at least 1930.
