Finally, in 1924, legendary Churchill Downs President Col. Matt J. Winn commissioned a standard design to be developed for the “Golden Anniversary” of the Derby.

For the 125 th Kentucky Derby in 1999, Churchill Downs officials decided to defer to racing lore and change the direction of the decorative horseshoe displayed on the 14-karat gold trophy. The horseshoe, fashioned from 18-karat gold, had pointed downward on each of the trophies since 1924. To commemorate Kentucky Derby 125, the change was made and the horseshoe was turned 180 degrees so that its ends pointed up. The trophy now annually incorporates the horseshoe with the ends pointing up. Racing superstition decrees that if the horseshoe is turned down all the luck will run out.

  • My Old Kentucky Home”
    “MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME” “My Old Kentucky Home” is the state song of Kentucky. Although there is no definitive history on the playing of the Stephen Foster ballad as a Kentucky Derby tradition, it is believed to have originated in 1921 for the 47th running. Reports provide evidence that 1930 may have been the first year the song was played as the horses were led to the post parade. It is well-documented by historians that the lyrics were influenced by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin and the original handwritten lyrics show that the initial working title of the song was “Poor Uncle Tom, Good Night.” In his autobiography My Bondage My Freedom, Frederick Douglass wrote that the song, “awakens sympathies for the slave, in which antislavery principles take root, grow, and flourish.” In the context of modern times, the legacy of the song is met with some debate. Since 1936, with only a few exceptions, the first verse and the chorus have been performed by the University of Louisville Marching Band as the horses make their way from the paddock to the starting gate. In 2020, the song was solemnly played by a single bugle and preceded by a moment of silence in which fans were asked to reflect on renewed hope for a more just country to truly “take root, grow and flourish.” My Old Kentucky Home The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, Tis summer, the people are gay; The corn-top’s ripe and the meadow’s in the bloom While the birds make music all the day.

  • Kentucky Derby
    The Legacy and Traditions of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby The Kentucky Derby The Kentucky Derby has taken place annually in Louis- ville, Kentucky since 1875. It was started by Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr. at his track he called Churchill Downs, and it has run continuously since that first race. This first jewel of the Triple Crown has produced famous winners, with thirteen of these winners gaining that Triple Crown title. Lewis limited the Derby to only 3-year old horses. The race has evolved and grown over time and has changed since its first running, remaining an important event for more than a century.

  • Derby Day the Kentucky Derby Has Been Run in Louisville at Churchill Downs Since 1875 on the First Saturday in May
    Derby Day The Kentucky Derby has been run in Louisville at Churchill Downs since 1875 on the first Saturday in May. Derby Day is a time when men and women with Kentucky blood or in that absence a Kentucky kissin’ kinship celebrate their Kentucky roots and affinity. The running of the Kentucky Derby, broadcast all over the world as the “greatest two minutes in sport,” allows us to remember our Kentucky home, the Kentucky folks we grew up with, have left behind or have lost. When we hear the words and melody of the plantation ballad, My Old Kentucky Home, written by the bard Stephen Foster, we grow nostalgic for our Kentucky past. At the Federal Hill estate in Bardstown resides My Old Kentucky Home is a place that symbolizes our Kentucky heritage, our genteel way of life, our common ancestry. Every man, woman and child in the Commonwealth knows that My Old Kentucky Home is owned by the people of Kentucky and that knowledge is a point of fierce pride. For every Kentuckian knows that as long as My Old Kentucky Home stands, every Kentuckian, no matter how humble their station in life, owns a Kentucky mansion and a Kentucky home. There is no horse racing experience like the Kentucky Derby. Going to Churchill Downs on Friday Oaks Day or on Saturday for the Kentucky Derby is a treat almost without comparison. The alternative Kentucky Derby party at home is also a great experience. A Kentuckian convenes a Derby Day party with family and friends, wherever they might be.

  • 2019 Awards Plan Appendix B
    FTBOA 2019 Industry Promotion Plan This document memorializes the ongoing activities of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association (“FTBOA”) in promoting the Florida Thoroughbred industry. Mission Statement: It is the mission of the FTBOA to promote the State of Florida’s Thoroughbred industry, educating the public within the state, across the country, and internationally about the benefits of breeding, buying, owning, training, and racing in Florida. These efforts target individuals already active in the world of Thoroughbreds and/or other horse breeds, as well as potential newcomers to the community of horse enthusiasts. The goal is to make Florida the most attractive Thoroughbred environment possible as compared to other locales and their competing incentive and promotional programs, leading to enhanced economic benefits and employment opportunities for the State of Florida and its citizens. The importance of the industry and these promotional efforts is recognized in Florida law, which created the Florida breeder awards program “to encourage the agricultural activity of breeding and training racehorses in this state.” Fla. Stat. §550.26165(1). This program is “intended to encourage Thoroughbred breeding and training operations to locate in this state,” and the FTBOA is given considerable flexibility in its design, because this program “must be responsive to rapidly changing incentive programs in other states.” Fla. Stat. §550.26165(5)(a). Beyond the FTBOA’s operation of the breeder awards program, the importance of the FTBOA’s efforts to promote the state’s Thoroughbred industry is underscored by the state’s dedication of funds to the FTBOA “for general promotion of the industry.” Fla.

  • My Old Kentucky Home (A.K.A
    My Old Kentucky Home (a.k.a. "Poor Uncle Tom, Goodnight") Words & Music: Stephen Foster This is Kentucky's state song. "Poor Uncle Tom, Goodnight" was the original 1850 title. The publisher renamed it "My Old Kentucky Home" in 1853. I've given both the original words (in all their antebellum "glory") and the modern lyrics, which were revised by House Resolution 159 in 1986. Jay Buckey has arrangements of this on his site. Original Lyrics (1853) The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay; The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom, While the birds make music all the day. The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy and bright; By 'n' by Hard Times comes a-knocking at the door, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. CHORUS: Weep no more, my lady. Oh! weep no more today! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the Old Kentucky Home far away. They hunt no more for the possum and the coon, On meadow, the hill and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow, where all was delight, The time has come when the darkies have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. CHORUS: The head must bow and the back will have to bend, Wherever the darky may go; A few more days, and the trouble all will end, In the field where the sugar-canes grow; A few more days for to tote the weary load, No matter, 'twill never be light; A few more days till we totter on the road, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight.
