I was in Louisville band for five years & being able to be in the in field during this moment 5 times is something special that I’ll carry for the rest of my life.
Absolutely a MUST DO.. have done a couple times but nothing like the first time, not even from Kentucky and the song will choke you up when you’re there

Awesome- Hello from Newfoundland, Canada. One of the Sports events i never miss. Read somewhere that it's the oldest sporting event in North America, started in 1875. That's incorrect. The St. John's, Newfoundland Royal Regatta is the oldest-started in early 1800's.
"Nyquist won the race for three-year-old males"??? The Kentucky Derby is for 3 year olds, full stop - colts, geldings and fillies - males carry 126 pounds and females carry 121 pounds. Just because there were no fillies entered in 2016 doesn't change the race conditions. Jeesh! Twinspires you should know better.
as living in Kentucky i am devastated that they just announced that they are not singing it anymore because it is somehow rude because it talks about slavery and some people are offended. i get why they are but they weren’t all these years and now they are. im sitting here crying it is part of the biggest tradition ever and now it is going away.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I couldn’t tell if there was a choir singing or if that was just the audience, but if you’ve ever heard a stadium sing along with the national anthem, there’s always a slight delay because of the time sound takes to travel. It’s distracting as the listener but if the mics were recording singers closer to the band, we’d have a much more synced up recording :)
B c white people attend the horse race This song is a lament for a slave that had been sold off to work I. Deep South sugar plantation, and thus rupturing his family, he being the father and husband For whites to twist the song and sing it as a pleasant sentimental missing home song is the height of ignorance
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy Psalm 33:12-14,18
most of the people that go to the derby arent KY natives. Churchill pushed out the locals and the locals typically go to the races that tuesday through friday (before the derby)
They changed the words! Here are the REAL LYRICS: Verse 1: The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, ‘Tis summer, the darkies are gay; The corn-top’s ripe and the meadow’s in the bloom, While the birds make music all the day. The young folks roll on the little cabin floor, All merry, all happy and bright; By ‘n’ by Hard Times comes a-knocking at the door, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. Chorus: Weep no more my lady Oh! weep no more today! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For the Old Kentucky Home far away. Verse 2: They hunt no more for the possum and the coon, On meadow, the hill and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o’er the heart ,With sorrow, where all was delight, The time has come when the darkies have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. Chorus Verse 3: The head must bow and the back will have to bend, Wherever the darky may go; A few more days, and the trouble all will end, In the field where the sugar-canes grow; A few more days for to tote the weary load, No matter, ’twill never be light; A few more days till we totter on the road, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. Chorus
@@pete5668 They're complaining about Kate Smith's "God Bless America" because of *ONE* racist song and yet there's no problem about "My Old Kentucky Home" although it has racist original lyrics. #doublestandards!
