Well March is already on the way out and with April only a few days away Sports Traveler is gearing up the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby.  The Kentucky Derby is clearly a major sporting event in this country and has historically been one of the more culturally important events whether sport or otherwise.

Despite the event's cultural and historical importance, there are still a lot of people out there that don't care to know much about the Kentucky Derby.  Many of these people just think horse racing is outdated and have little to no interest in who wins the Kentucky Derby.  I think that some of the gap in interest can be blamed on a lack of identity.

Last weekend the historic home of the Kentucky Derby hosted another exciting year for the Breeders' Cup.  The 2011 Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs marks the end of a two year run at the Kentucky race track.  Patrons of Churchill Downs have had the opportunity to be a spectator at two of the 4 majors horse races for the last 2 years.  Next year the high stakes event will move to Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California for the sixth time.

We are now in the middle of August and our attention in the sports world is either on a pennant race in baseball or the start of good 'ol fashioned tackle football.  Soon the leaves will change color and the cool nights of fall will become more frequent.  Many sports fans across the country are anxiously awaiting the arrival of football but if excitement is what you seek then don't forget about the year-end championship of North American horse racing.

Over 164,000 people were at Churchill Downs on Saturday to see Animal Kingdom rally to win the 2011 Kentucky Derby. This was the largest crowd ever to see the Kentucky Derby.
