Kentucky Derby History From Aristides to Hill Gail Compiled by DAILY RACING FORM. Reproduction of Tabulation Is Prohibited Without Permission of DAILY RACING FORM. The Kentucky Derby, to be run this year for the seventy-ninth time, is Americas greatest horse race. No Kentucky Derby has failed to furnish some interesting occurrence to make it unforgettable. As the years pile up and renewals become history, these outstanding incidents take on added signif iance. In an effort to condense this information into the shortest possible space, Daily Racing Forms staff compiled the following table, showing, among other details, horses who have won, then later sired sons who won; maiden winners and favorites that finished first, second or third. The table is the most complete ever compiled on the Derby. Riders, owners and breeders of one or more winners are noted. The number of nominations and starters are easily compared. , Net Nomi- Start- w i««T".a ,„■ Tfr „ Color „ Sex.WL Second. Wt. Third. Wt. Odds. Time.Tr. Value.natns.ers. Sire. Jockey. Owner.
