Correct answer: Kentucky Derby

Lived in Louisville, Kentucky 13 years, went to Churchill Downs once, cross it off bucket list. Don't sneer. Millions of people live in New York City and have never been to the Statue of Liberty.

Females merely different than males. But because female pelvis optimized for bearing offspring, those optimizations equate to a slower running speed. It is not a case of faster=better but different=differences.

propersouthernbelle, Fogelberg released this song in 1982. He was an incredibly talented musician, passed away in 2005. R.I.P.

Fillies carry less weight because it equals the playing field, so to speak. Fairness is paramount in horse racing.
proper so. belle
nimblemoon, Dan Fogleberg wrote and sang a great song entitled "Run for the Roses" that I think is very beautiful.
Fun guy
dancers & models starve to make weight but few know jockeys do too !

Player BlueDragon, Sometimes a "meer" difference can mean a lot in life. You may excell in somethings, but not in another. Those are just basic truths that political correctness cannot change

The entire city of Louisville has several events of celebration during the week prior. Including lighting all the bridges for fireworks! Great to see!

PointyDormouse60089, the reason for the name is they put a blanket of roses over the winning horse.

If you haven’t seen the movie Secretariat you need to see it

Nothing like hearing the song. My Old Kentucky home.
Player #13075987
I live in Louisville and been twice. It truly is a great event. If you haven’t been I highly recommend it.

nimblemoon, I've got to say After 67 years of being in Horse racing and being female I ALSO wonder why Fillies have to carry less weight?

I watched this once. I couldn't believe there was only one race. I love horseracing.
