The 2012 Kentucky Derby is the 138th renewal of The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports.The Kentucky Derby isn't just another horse race. An American institution since 1875, the annual competition draws hundreds of thousands of spectators.When the first inaugural Kentucky Derby took place at what would later be called Louisville’s Churchill Downs on May 17, 1875, a crowd of approximately 10,000 attendants were present but today,The Kentucky Derby is Louisville's biggest annual event that draws an average of 150000 visitors each year.
The Kentucky Derby may be horse racing’s biggest day, but its biggest draw is often hats not horses.
As usual, several celebrities threw their hats into the ring for the biggest headwear day of the year. It was a colorful day at the derby, and I’m not referring to the colorful characters that always show up.
