What makes a Kentucky Derby among the best of all time?
Secretariat’s record-setting effort? Regret’s achievement
as the first filly to win the vaunted classic, or
legendary jockey Bill Shoemaker’s misjudgment of the
finish line that cost his horse the race? And what about
the famous “Fighting Finish” or Black Gold’s “dream-come-
true” victory?
The eagerly anticipated showdowns between Affirmed and
Alydar and between Citation and Coaltown made those
respective Derbies unforgettable to those who were around
to experience them. And who could discount the near-

recovery?
With 130 runnings to choose from, a panel of racing
experts selected these Kentucky Derbies as the all-time

kaleidoscope of vibrant images only the Kentucky Derby
can produce.
