The Kentucky Derby was established in the year 1875 and has been a favorite American pastime since Aristides, a chestnut colored colt whose statue stands proudly in the gardens behind the clubhouse, won the race. Col. Matt Win is credited with promoting the track and the sport since 1903. With his resources and efforts, Kentucky Derby has been heralded as the major horseracing event today. The race is known in the United States as "The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports" for its approximate duration, and is also called "The Run for the Roses" for the blanket of roses draped over the winner.
