The Kentucky Derby

Tomorrow Millions of Fans will look forward to-The Kentucky Derby. The Derby is about Tradition and Fashion as much as it is about the sport.

"Over its 136-year history, the Kentucky Derby has amassed dozens of traditions that millions of Derby fans worldwide hold dear.  From the iconic Twin Spires that overlook the track's famous homestretch to the potent mint juleps that infuse Derby Day with "spirit," traditions are an important part of the Derby experience. Every year, the Kentucky Derby Nation of fans looks forward to observing these storied rituals leading up to the "Greatest Two Minutes in Sports."

"When it comes to horse racing's premier event, the competition isn't limited to the track itself. The Kentucky Derby and its sister event, the Kentucky Oaks, are the only sporting events that are also fashion events. Derby attendees spend as much time and money on their race-day apparel as they do at the betting window -- maybe more!"
