More than 15 million people watch the Kentucky Derby on
television every year, making it one of the most popular sporting
events in existence. It's known as the Run for the Roses because
the winning horse is draped in a 40-pound blanket of roses. This
year, the Kentucky Derby winner will enjoy a record purse of
$5 million – nearly twice the amount
offered in 2023. The beloved race, started by Meriweather Lewis Clark, grandson of famous
explorer William Clark, has a rich
history that dates back to 1875. It has become deeply ingrained in
American culture over the years, creating a sense of tradition and
nostalgia – something Chicken N Pickle also aspires to do.
