The first Saturday in May is just a few days away, and that can only mean one thing in the sports world: The Kentucky Derby and the start of the Triple Crown.

Every spring, horse racing fans geared up at the possibility of a top horse winning the Kentucky Derby and having the chance to go on and win the Triple Crown.

There hasn’t been a Triple Crown winner in more than three decades, though a number have horses have managed to win the first two legs.

The excitement begins Saturday with the fancy hats and the playing of "My Old Kentucky Home."
