Derby Days

It's Kentucky Derby Day!  This horse race, which will occur for the 137th time today is one of three races in the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.  Horses race 2 km around the Churchill Downs track, and the race will only last for around 2 minutes, but yet is a popular event watched by many.  With this race also come the traditions including the red roses and the mint julep.  Well, it's off to the races!
