  • Status of Kentucky Derby Winners
    WINNER’S CIRCLE / PRESENTATION STAND The Kentucky Derby Winner’s Circle, that small plot of hallowed land that so many horsemen have longed to stand in on the first Saturday in May, has been a Derby tradition since Lawrin received his honors for winning the 1938 Kentucky Derby. Prior to that time, there were various areas used for honoring the Kentucky Derby winner. From 1875-1929, the Kentucky Derby winner would stand on the racetrack in a circled area drawn out in chalk dust, leading to the phrase “winner’s circle.” Track officials moved the presentation from the track from 1930-37 and made the winner’s presentation in an area that adjoined the clubhouse. Finally for the 64th running in 1938, a presentation stand, featuring a new electric odds board was constructed. Every Kentucky Derby winner since that time has been led to the infield presentation area to be honored. Since 1944, the winner’s circle has included a landscaped horseshoe floral arrangement that the winning horse is led into for photographs. Over the years, the presentation stand has undergone various changes including the addition of terraced planters that were constructed adjoining the area when the Matt Winn Turf Course was developed in 1985. The odds board that helps make up the presentation stand was outfitted with an electronic message center display system in 1997 to replace the incandescent bulbs that previously provided odds and payoffs. The presentation stand underwent a renovation, which included new framing and a new rooftop, was completed in the fall of 2016. Although the winner’s circle only has been used to honor the Kentucky Derby winner, a limited number of couples have used the site for weddings over the years.

  • 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.
