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. Through the study of the Derby’s influential historic traditions, notable winners and horse farms in Kentucky, and its profound cultural TABLE OF CONTENTS impact, this program will identify and explore these dif- Background and History…..2 ferent aspects that all contribute to the excitement and legacy of the “most exciting two minutes in sports.” Curriculum Standards…..3 Traditions ................ 4-8 Triple Crown ............ 9 Derby Winners ........ 10-11 Notable Horse Farms….12-13 Significant Figures…...15 Bibliography………….16 Image list…………….17-18 Derby Activities…….19-22 To replicate the races he witnessed in Europe, Meri- wether Lewis Clark Jr., the grandson of explorer Wil- liam Clark, created three races in the United States that resembled those he’d attended in Europe. The first meet was in May of 1875. Family ties to the horse racing world led Clark to his purchase of what would become Churchill Downs, named after his uncles, John and Henry Churchill in 1883.

Catching up with Funny Cide: Still a Fan Favorite in Retirement
Catching up with Funny Cide: Still a fan favorite in retirement By Joe Nevills Daily Racing Form 3 Barbara D. Livingston Dual classic winner Funny Cide in 2008 carries trainer Barclay Tagg. The story of Funny Cide almost reads like a Hollywood screenplay. A modestly priced New York-bred before it was cool to be a New York-bred, Funny Cide was bought by Sackatoga Stables, a group of likable high-school chums who traveled to races like a varsity football team going to regionals, and together they went on a journey that took them to the doorstep of Triple Crown immortality. In a sport where cash is king, their blue-collar story captured the nation’s imagination when Funny Cide won the 2003 Kentucky Derby and became the first gelding to win the classic race since Clyde Van Dusen in 1929, then followed it up with a 9 3/4-length win in the Preakness Stakes. This year marks the 10th anniversary of his dual classic-winning season. Lacking the equipment to be shuffled off to the breeding shed after his Triple Crown bid was denied in the Belmont Stakes, Funny Cide, the first great runner by his sire, Distorted Humor, continued racing after his Eclipse Award-winning 3-year-old season until age 7 and won 11 of 38 races for $3,529,412. After his retirement from racing, Funny Cide spent a year as a stable pony for his trainer, Barclay Tagg, but six seasons of racing had taken a toll on the gelding’s body, and he was retired once again, this time to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, where he took up residence in December 2008.
