Kentucky Derby Running of the Roses Horse Race:
The Derby is frequently referred to as "The Run for the
Roses," because a garland of red roses is awarded to the
Kentucky Derby winner each year. The tradition is as a
result of New York socialite E. Berry Wall presenting
roses to ladies at a post-Derby party in 1883 that was
attended by Churchill Downs president, Col. M. Lewis
Clark. This
gesture is believed to have eventually led Clark to the
idea of making the rose the race's official flower.
However, it was not until 1896 that any recorded account
referred to roses being draped on the Derby winner.

colorful traditions that make it unique in American sports
lore. Women who attend the race wear colorful hats, known as
Derby Hats. The mint julep, an iced drink consisting of
bourbon, mint and a sugar syrup is the official beverage of

sings "My Old Kentucky Home" as the horses parade in-front
of the Churchill Downs grandstand.
