Okay, so I was watching the Kentucky Derby the other day, and it got me thinking – how old are these horses, anyway? They look so young and full of energy!

So, I did what any curious person would do – I fired up my laptop and started googling. I typed in something simple like, “Kentucky Derby horse age,” and boom, tons of stuff popped up.
At First I was wandering and searching around, reading some article that didn’t directly say how old the horses was.
Figuring It Out
After digging through a few websites, I finally found the answer. And it’s pretty straightforward, It turns out, there’s a super strict rule.
- Only three-year-old horses can run in the Kentucky Derby.
Yep, that’s it. Only 3-year old are permitted. They’re basically like the teenagers of the horse racing world, I *’s all about showing off the up-and-coming stars, the fresh talent just starting * sense when you think about it. No old-timers slowing things down!
So there you have it – my little quest for knowledge, from wondering about horse ages to having the answer in just a few minutes. I love how easy it is to learn new things these days!
