The 1919 Kentucky Derby was the 45th running of the Kentucky Derby. The race took place on May 10, 1919.[1][2] Horses Corson and Clermont scratched before the race.[3] Winner Sir Barton went on to win in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes, becoming the first winner of the American Triple Crown.[4]

Pre-race coverage
A New York Times writer believed that the Preakness Stakes was competing for attention with the Derby, as it was held four days following the Derby and offered a purse of $30,000, larger than the Derby's $20,000.[5] The author felt that the three-year old racing horses during the 1919 season were a "good crop" and that the course record of 2:03 2⁄5 set by Old Rosebud in 1914 could be broken.[5] Geldings were eligible to race in the event.[5]
