@@valkahaddock8580 He thinks it's racist because the original version of the song says "the darkies are gay." What he doesn't understand is what that means, it means black people in Kentucky were happy. Why were they happy? Because Kentucky wasn't a slave state.

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 :)
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
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)
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

I guess over the whole world we have a special feeling for memories of home

My old Kentucky home and back home again in Indiana, played right before the start of the Indianapolis 500. Our the greatest.
All those beautiful people and horses with a touching song always.
74 years old,i cry every time i see this
ケンタッキーダービー、本馬場入場でファンも歌うってのがいいね
日本の競馬はどんな層でも入場を拒まず良くも悪くも大歓声で盛り上がるのが良いし

Part of what makes America great. I would love to be there in person just 1 time. On my bucket list.
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
Born and raised in Ky and it’s on my list too!
Mine too
it's what makes the state of Kentucky great.
Ive done it twice, I say do it at least once, but it is very overrated
The sun shines bright, in my old Kentucky home🥺
Every time I hear my old Kentucky home it makes the hair on the back of my head stand up .this is what American is all about the owners and the trainers working hard all year long to get hear to run for the roses I love the Kentucky derby .
Ugh
Not gonna lie, if I were there to hear that in person, I would probably cry
One of my favorite songs. RIP Dick Enberg
Whose Dick Enberg?

Not Dick Enberg though. It’s Tom Hamilton
Just not May without this, the Indy 500, the Preakness, and the NBA and NHL playoffs. Thanks a lot, Covid.
God bless Kentucky
Almost there America. Almost time to return home to Kentucky for Derby day!
Apparently the big hats on ladies is part of the lovely tradition as well!
Came here today to hear this. Missing you Kentucky Derby. Till September...
Actually, The Kentucky Derby is on The First Saturday in May this Year! Wahoo! Things are getting back to Normal!!!!

it is a great song

Absolutely heartbroken our song was not played for OUR Derby😥
They played it yesterday
THEY DID NOT POST THE LYRICS
Que momento!
If you will go to Baliwag, Bulacan in the Philippines, try to sing this song...this is their "National Anthem" in that City.
I'm from Kentucky, I had no idea, that's incredible!
Me too , love tradition and this song but I'm not young so unlikely that will ever happen
Does anyone know why this song is sung on Derby Day?
It’s the state song for Kentucky
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

Always felt like Kentucky is Virginia's little sister.
KY is 40,000sq mi, VA is 42,000sq mi. Neither one is little anything lol.
@@charlesbrown4483 yes but Kentucky was mostly settled by Virginians, moving west. Same with Tennesee.
Stephen Foster's greatest song.
Imagine Chris Stapleton does this song. Him and his guitar. Bring out your tissues.

Yeah 3 fillies have won the Kentucky Derby. Regret in 1915, Genuine Risk in 1980, and Winning Colors in 1988.

What?! How can they not sing 'My Old Kentucky Home" before the Kentucky Derby is run? What in the name of Thor is going on with our Country today?
They will sing the anthem this year
Jesus that was awful. It's like the band was conducted by a completely different conductor who insisted on playing it twice as fast.

Nice melody but recently found out it was originally a song about a slave taken away from his famy.
that is not what the song is about smh
No it's not. What in the world are you talking about? Kentucky wasn't a slave state.
No one is singing as they don’t know the words….

It’s a song about slavery

It’s an anti slavery song from most sources I’ve read.
No not everything is about that vile institution.
..sorry correct , it actually was
