The Kentucky Derby of 2017 is here, which means that a new horse will become a winner. The annual event is held on the first Saturday of May in Louisville, Kentucky and the race is also known as “The Run for the Roses” because of the roses that are draped over whoever wins. Today marks the 143rd Kentucky Derby event, as the first one was held in 1875, and the overall purse this year is $2 million. According to Top Bet, the prize money is divided into the following:
1st Place: $1,240,000
2nd Place: $400,000
3rd Place: $200,000
4th Place: $100,000
