SynopsisThe Kentucky Derby, America's greatest horse race, is filled with iconic traditions and southern pageantry. But a race as rich in history as the Kentucky Derby also has wicked stories to tell. There's the story of Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr., founder of the Derby, who went to his grave believing that the Derby was his biggest failure. Or how the winning jockey of the 1935 Derby turned out to be a coldblooded killer. Or the last private owners of the notorious Hope Diamond, whose sinister reputation added another victim while its owners attended the 1919 Kentucky Derby. You'll also meet a young man who literally bet his life on the outcome of a race. Join educator and historian Ronnie Dreistadt for ten unsettling stories of Derby history.
