Oliver Lewis: For your consideration

Oliver Lewis’ name will forever be entwined with the prestigious Kentucky Derby as the competition’s inaugural winner. Just 19 years old when he entered the first established Kentucky Derby race, Lewis’ win was said to have been witnessed by thousands of people in the crowd and was over in under three minutes. The First Kentucky Derby details Lewis’ defiance against the horse trainers’ orders during the race and how the champion’s own intuition led to his stunning victory. Although he never again raced in the Kentucky Derby after its premier event, Lewis deserves to be inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame for laying the foundation to make the Kentucky Derby the widely anticipated event that it is today.
