Run Derby
2010 Kentucky Derby provides sense of renewal
Part of the depth of what it means to be an American is embodied in the annual renewal of the Triple Crown series and the pageantry of the Run for the Roses on the first Saturday in May. As we all know, the Derby is run underneath the venerable twin spires of Churchill Downs in the beautiful city of Louisville, Kentucky. There is nothing that can rival the tradition of languishing over a mint julep at Churchill Downs on Derby day, but the comprehensive media coverage of the event brings it into your living room quite effectively if you can’t make it to the race in person.
The Kentucky Derby is more than just a horse race. It means different things to different people, but in essence, it is an annual gathering that allows us to collectively recall the events that we have shared in the past while celebrating the present and looking forward toward the future. You can’t help but feel a certain emotional wave pass through you when the horses take the track and you realize that yet another Kentucky Derby is just minutes away.
To stroll down Kentucky Derby memory lane you have got to return to 1875, which is the year that Churchill Downs opened, and the 1st installment of the Derby took place in that opening year. There are spring and fall seasons that run at Churchill Downs, and as well as the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs has many other highlights: the Stephen Foster Handicap, the Grade I Humana Distaff Handicap, the Kentucky Oaks and the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic Stakes. A sojourn to Churchill Downs to take in the Kentucky Derby is at or near the apex of the must-do list of each and every horse racing enthusiast, and hanging out among the excited crowd under the twin spires on the 1st Sat. in May is the experience of a lifetime.
