Kentucky Derby - Past Winners

It takes a team to produce a Derby winner - from the breeders' initial mating, through the foaling on the farm, and then finally to the racetrack. Once every spring, one team made up of jockey, owner, trainer and breeder realizes its dream in the Kentucky Derby Winner's Circle at Churchill Downs.
