==Sire lines== Winners of the Kentucky Derby can be connected to each other due to the practice of [[Thoroughbred breeding theories|arranging horse breeding]] based on their previous success. All of the horses can be traced back to the three foundational sires, with [[Godolphin Arabian]] the ancestor of 7 winners, [[Byerley Turk]] the ancestor of 11 winners, and [[Darley Arabian]] the ancestor of 133 winners, including all winners since 1938. The [[Into Mischief]] direct sire line has produced 4 of the last 6 Kentucky Derby winners. === Darley Arabian line === ''See [[Kentucky Derby winners descended from the Darley Arabian]] for an illustration.''
