The 1919 Kentucky Derby was the 45th running of the Kentucky Derby. The race took place on May 10, 1919.[1][2] Winner Sir Barton went on to win in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes, becoming the first winner of the American Triple Crown.[3]

Pre-race coverage

A New York Times writer believed that the Preakness Stakes was competing for attention with the Derby, as it was held four days following the Derby and offered a purse of $30,000, larger than the Derby's $20,000.[4] The author felt that the three-year old racing horses during the 1919 season were a "good crop" and that the course record of 2:03+2⁄5 set by Old Rosebud in 1914 could be broken.[4] Sennings Park, a horse who stayed through the winter at Churchill Downs, ran a mile at the track in 1:43 3/5, the best time of the season in late April.[5]
