Originally, the race was made up of 15. The first Kentucky Derby took place on May 17, 1875. The first Kentucky Derby winner was Aristides. The Kentucky Derby was first run at 1-1/2 miles (2.4 kilometres), the same distance as the Epsom Derby. The distance was changed in 1896 to its current 1-1/4 miles (2.0 kilometres). No Derby has ever been postponed because of rain or bad weather.
