Horses from around the world are flown to race in the Kentucky Derby.

That’s why they arrive a few weeks early, to train, prepare, and to catch up on jet lag.

The horse barn will be shown in spurts here and there on the televised event.

Some horse farms around the Louisville area offer tours to tourists that you have to set up in advance. Some of them house previous winners or racers of The Kentucky Derby.
