The Kentucky Derby is a horse race that is had at the end of the Kentucky Derby festival on the first day of may every year in Louisville, Kentucky. There are many different things associated with the Kentucky derby. Two of the Main things associated with the Kentucky Derby are large decorated hats, and gambling. The tradition of women wearing a large decorated hat to The Kentucky Derby has gone on for as long as some people can remember. The hats can contain anything from bows to feathers to bees and almost anything in between. Betting on the horse that you believe will win has existed since the first Kentucky Derby whether it was betting on a large scale facilitated through people, or just betting your best friend five bucks if his horse wins. This year the horse American Pharaoh came from behind in a stunning win against Firing Line in second, and Dortmund in third. Even if you are not a fan, frequent viewer, or a viewer at all of the Kentucky Derby, the final race even had me on the edge of my seat. You can watch American Pharaoh's sprint to victory in the video below.
