In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 horse racing schedule has been completely altered. Back in June, the Triple Crown chase began with the Belmont Stakes, which is normally the final leg of the Triple Crown rather than the first.
Now the Kentucky Derby, which is usually the first leg of the Triple Crown, was the second leg and was run fans at Churchill Downs. Tiz the Law, the Belmont winner, entered the 2020 edition of the Kentucky Derby as the odds-on favorite, came in second to winner Authentic.
Winning this annual event immortalizes the victorious jockey and horse. Some of these horses that won the Derby took it a step further, going on to win Triple Crowns. Here is a list of every Kentucky Derby winner -- all 146 of them.
