The Derby History Book contains comprehensive information on the Kentucky Derby. All you need is a mint julep and a comfy oversized chair and you'll feel like you are resting in one of the horsebreeder's Southern plantation libraries. When you 'open' the pages of this virtual history book, you are greeted with a photo of Churchill Downs to get you in the mood. You then have your choice of numerous chapters to peruse including Derby history, traditons, past Derby winners, women in the Derby, African Americans in the Derby, Derby starters, owners, breeders, trainers, jockeys, statistics, and a chapter on the Kentucky Oaks, a 'sister' race of the Derby.
