good title. good race too.
will someone explain??
will someone explain??
username: The Kentucky Derby is one of the most famous horse races in the USA. It is nicknamed "The Run For The Roses". Its length is 1 1/4 Miles. Get it now?
well, i never ever heard of that and no one else i know do, except for you and a couple others on this site. a lot more explanation is needed for these types of questions. don't except everyone to know. i'd be surprised if even 5% of the users know - unless many, many watch horseraces and stuff like that.
man I suck at these
Very nice!
At first i would say i'd have to agree with Username but when horse luver explained it i understood. Good one keep up the good work!
I like this one! Once I read the hint, of course, I got it right away. I would disagree with Username, however. It's the most famous horse race in N. America. I don't watch horse racing, although I love horses. I know there are people who haven't heard of it, but I doubt that only 5% of the Braingle population know of it. Mmmm maybe I should start a poll? Who here besides Username and Babygirl35 never heard of the Kentucky Derby before? :huh: I mean NEVER heard of it. There may be people who heard of it but didn't know it was a horserace. :!:
Bummer...the message board smilies don't work here. That seems dumb to me.
GOT IT!!!
(As soon as I read the hint, of course...)

I have heard of the Kentucky Derby and knew it was a horse race... I just wasn't thinking of that
Charismatic is my all time favorite Derby winner!
