The Kentucky Derby is just the beginning... It all started with an inaugural race meet in 1875 that featured two flagship horse races: the Kentucky Oaks and the Kentucky Derby. These iconic races are still run beneath the Twin Spires 147 years later, making the Derby the longest continuously held annual sporting event in the United States. Today, Derby Week is preceded by a month of events celebrating the Kentucky Derby and helps to bring over $350 million to the local economy each year.

This spring, the Kentucky Derby Museum is doubling down on its efforts to remedy that erasure. Since 1993, the museum has hosted a permanent 'Black Heritage in Racing' exhibit on the second floor. But now, the exhibit moves downstairs to a 930-square-foot space to expand the stories of legendary Black horsemen through artifacts, oral history interviews and artwork.” Kellie Doligale Spring 2021 Read More Next CHURCHILL DOWNS Properties Careers Magazine News Contact ABOUT Leadership Team Board of Directors Corporate Social Responsibility Foundation INVESTORS Overview Press Releases Events and Presentations Governance Financials Stock IR FAQs Investor Contact © 2021 Churchill Downs Incorporated.
