Because it is the first race in the Triple Crown and if a horse wins it then there is a possibility for a Triple Crown winner.
No one....It 's a horse race. Only a horse has won the race! And the last horse to win the Triple Crown was Affirmed in 1978. The jockey on Affirmed was Steve Cauthen.
Secretariat won the triple crown in 1973. He was the 9th horse to do so in 25 years.
The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the Triple Crown, a horse that wins the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes becomes the Triple Crown Winner
The Kentucky Derby is 1 1/4 mile long. In other words 10 furlongs. It is the first leg of the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.
