Written by John Asher, Churchill Downs’ longtime resident historian, this lavishly illustrated coffee-table book chronicles the 133rd Kentucky Derby and the colt Street Sense’s run to victory in 2007. Vivid color photography and vintage archival images trace the race’s evolution from its 1875 debut to its modern spectacle.
From the infield crowds to the finish line under the Twin Spires, the book captures the mint juleps and pageantry of that Derby day. A crowd of 156,635 — including the Queen of England — witnessed the win.
