From the first Kentucky Derby of May 17, 1875 until the most recent Derby of May 1, 2010, the best time has been just under 2 minutes. That record has been met only two times thus far. The first and best running time was the 1 minute 59-2/5 second win by Secretariat [March 30, 1970 - October 4, 1989] in 1973. The second and next best running time was the 1 minute 59-4/5 second win by Monarchos [b. 1998] in 2001.
