        The 2017 Kentucky Derby will take place Saturday, May 6 at the Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.

        Started in 1875, the Kentucky Derby initially drew in a crowd of over 10,000 to an open field to watch 15 horses race around a 1.5-mile field. Since then, thousands have flocked to watch the races annually, making it one of the longest-running sports in U.S. history.

        At this year’s derby, expect an attendance of almost 150,000 people. Whether you decide to make a trip to Louisville, or to watch from the comforts of your couch, you can still get in on the betting action.
