The Kentucky Derby
How the Run for the Roses Became America's Premier Sporting Event
Rising from its humble beginnings as an American variation of England's Epsom Derby, the Kentucky Derby became a centrepiece of American sports and the racing industry, confirming Kentucky's status as the Horse Capital of the World. James C. Nicholson argues that the Derby, at its essence, is a celebration of a place, existing as a connection between Kentucky's mythic past and modern society.
