What is the longest continually held sporting event in America?

susietexas1944, Thank you, instead of complaining you solved the mystery that the other dolts whined about! They could look it up . It amazes me how ppl complain so easily. It takes the same amount of time to be nice!!

The Kentucky Derby had run uninterrupted for 144 years!

I have been to the Kentucky Derby in person about 20 times but I lost interest after 2019 when do they took down the rightful champion and gave the blanket of roses to the horse they thought should have won... it is a race after all not an exercise in fairness

Popeye, the first Kentucky Derby was run in 1875. The winner was Aristides

The first race was held in 1875.

they really should give that information. And I'm being kind tell us when and why

The women wear beautiful hats at the Kentucky Derby.

I love horse racing.. the USA should stop shutting down Race Tracks.. one the oldest sports we need to keep this sport open.

No mention of the Mint Julep either. The "drink of the derby".

you need to re-word this

I should have known from the picture
