The Kentucky Derby is just days away! Every year on the first weekend in May, horses and jockeys gather at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, for the epic Run for the Roses, with millions tuning in to watch.

While the actual race only lasts approximately two minutes, with the horses running a mile and quarter around the racetrack, the event itself is a daylong celebration. From the fashion to the history of the Derby and more, there’s plenty to watch in the hours leading up to the race itself.
