Kentucky Derby 136, Churchill Downs, May 1, 2010

May 1, 2010. The 136th Kentucky Derby took place in the rain at Churchill Downs. The "Run for the Roses" is known as the most exciting two minutes in sports. Calvin Borel, riding Super Saver, finished his 3rd Kentucky Derby victory in four years. 2nd place was Ice Box and third was Paddy O'Prado. May 1, 2010. This year the rain put a damper on things. Ladies covered their hats and outfits in clear plastic. The rain did not stop the festivities of the Kentucky Derby. It was a full house as usual and the traditional mint juleps were poured in Derby glasses for a grand toast before the race.
