This is a place where a very special horse race happens each year. It is called the Kentucky Derby. Horses have to be exactly three years old to do the race and the person who rides the horse has to be very light and small so that the horse does not have to work hard to run with the jockey on their back.
I took a tour and got to see the paddock. The paddock is where the horses wait in stalls. I also saw where people pay extra for a special ticket to see the race up close. The track is a big oval shape and it is mostly sand. The horse that wins gets to wear a cape made of red roses.
When people watch this race they wear dress up clothes and very fancy or silly hats.
