It was on May 17th that the Kentucky Derby was held in 1875. That date was the inaugural run of the subsequently world-famous race. It was held in Louisville, Kentucky at the Louisville Jockey Club Course, the original name of the Churchill Downs racetrack.

The first Sunday isn't when the Kentucky Derby is held.Instead, the Derby is supposed to be held the first Saturday of May. But that wasn't always the case. In fact, the very first Derby was held mid-month, on May 17, 1875.
