Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox horse race
The 1875 Kentucky Derby was the first running of the Kentucky Derby.[1] The race took place on May 17, 1875.[2] The first Kentucky Derby was a 1.5-mile race, and the traditional distance of 1.25 miles was not established until the 1896 Derby.[3] Thirteen of the fifteen jockeys in the race, including winner Oliver Lewis, were African-American.[4] Attendance was estimated at 10,000.[5]
The winner was Aristides, by two lengths. His jockey was Oliver Lewis, his trainer was Ansel Williamson, and his owner was H.P. McGrath. Aristides' half-brother and stablemate Chesapeake also ran in the race. Both Aristides' jockey and trainer were black. Aristides's time of 2 minutes and 37.75 seconds was at the time a world record for the distance.
The present-day Kentucky Derby has seen a massive numbers increase since then. With the growth of the Kentucky Derby as of 2021, the derby, still held at Churchill Downs, can see in-person attendance as high as 65,000 with an average of around 50,000 spectators. These numbers do not include off-track spectators.
