[quote=Anonymous]The Kentucky Derby has its roots in the post-slavery South and Jim Crow. Half of the first 25 Derby winners were black. Then Jim Crow happened and basically the black riders, trainers, and owners were kicked out of the Derby by elite Southern whites. The focus by the Derby on owners and the crowd - rather than the athletes - is a legacy of its Jim Crow roots. https://theconversation.com/how-african-americans-disappeared-from-the-kentucky-derby-76908[/quote]
