Walking Buycycle

The Kentucky Derby is one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. It classifies as a Grade 1 stakes race for horse that are three years old. The Kentucky Derby is always held in Louisville, Kentucky and draws huge numbers every year. The race is held on the first Saturday in May and is 1 1/4 miles long. Churchill Downs is the site for the race and people tune in from all over the world to see “The Run for the Roses”. Every year horses and trainers vigorously prepare to enter and win this anticipated race. Many times, there are big upsets and relatively unknown horses will walk away with the purse.

The 2007 Kentucky Derby, held on Saturday, May 5, and sponsored by Yum! Brands, proved to be another exciting race to be put down in Derby history. It featured 20 different three year old colts who all were nervously waiting for the snap to sound and for their chance to break out of the gate. The $2 million dollar purse made trainers, owners, and bettors a bit nervous as well.

Earlier in the week it had been rainy and muddy but the sun came out on this Saturday morning as if anticipating the race as well. The dirt was hardened and the race was moved back to “fast” status. As the 133rd running of the Derby, it proved to be a fine day for a race. The two top horses going into the race were the 9-2 favorite Street Sense and the 5-1 second place horse Curlin. Both were attempting to upset history and take home the victory. Close behind them in the favorites were Scat Daddy (7-1) and Hard Spun (10-1).
