Kentucky Derby Festival event nearly 10,000 strong
The Kentucky Derby Festival races had record numbers, five individual winners, and two notable runners-up on Saturday.
Of the 11,269 people who registered for the event, 9,339 started on Southern Parkway. Both totals far surpassed the records established last year, when 8,655 registered.

In the Marathon, Onesmus Nyerere won the men's division, ending Charles Njeru Kamindo's four-year run; former Louisville resident Eileen Combs won the women's division; and Medina, Ohio, resident Jeff Fisher won the wheelchair division. But Kamindo and Louisville Triple Crown of Running champion Jamie King-O'Shea had no reason to be disappointed with second place. Read the full story here.
