Editing Kentucky Derby (section)

==Records==

=== Horse records ===
[[Secretariat (horse)|Secretariat]] set the record for speed in 1973 with a time of 1:59.4. During its first two decades when the Derby was run at {{Fraction|1|1|2}} miles, the record was 2:34.5, set by [[Spokane (horse)|Spokane]] in 1889.

The largest margin of victory is 8 lengths, a feat tied by four different horses: [[Old Rosebud]] in 1914, [[Johnstown (horse)|Johnstown]] in 1939, [[Whirlaway]] in 1941, and [[Assault (horse)|Assault]] in 1946.

The highest odds of a winning horse were 91 to 1 for [[Donerail]] in 1913. The second-highest odds occurred in 2022, when [[Rich Strike]] went off at 80 to 1 and won the race.

Three horses have won the Kentucky Derby without competing as a two-year-old: [[Apollo (horse)|Apollo]] (1882), [[Justify (horse)|Justify]] (2018), and [[Mage (horse)|Mage]] (2023).<ref name="NYT">{{Cite web |author=Mellisa Hoppert |date=May 6, 2018 |title=Justify Wins Kentucky Derby, Conquering Rain, Mud and a 136-Year Curse |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/sports/kentucky-derby.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180506075253/https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/05/sports/kentucky-derby.html |archive-date=May 6, 2018 |access-date=May 6, 2018 |work=The New York Times}}</ref>
