The Race was an event, the place and the moment when the hopes and dreams of thousands of people, trainers, owners, jockeys, grooms, betters, spectators came together once a year at the climactic moment when the field of three year olds burst from the confines of the starting gate to run the longest, hardest most famous mile and a quarter in the history of The Kentucky Derby. The lengths all those involved are driven to-kidnapping, blackmail, even murder-are all resolved at that final moment of triumph when the winner passes the post. This is the glory that makes it all worthwhile.
