Distances for the Kentucky Derby:
run at 1 1/2 miles from 1875-1895
run at 1 1/4 miles from 1896-present

**In the 1968 Kentucky Derby, Dancer's Image crossed the finish line first, but when his blood test showed evidence of the drug Butazolidin, which was at the time, an illegal race-day medication in Kentucky, he was disqualified and placed second behind runner-up Forward Pass. A lengthy legal battle ensued, the end result that Forward Pass was awarded the victory and winner's purse.
