The 1891 Kentucky Derby was the 17th running of the Kentucky Derby. The race took place on May 13, 1891.[1] The winning time of 2:52.25 was the slowest winning time in Derby history.[2]
With each rider under orders to stay off the lead until the stretch, all four horses ran abreast the whole way waiting for someone to make a move. This resulted in the field to canter their way around the track going a mile in 2:01, a mile and a quarter in 2:26+3⁄4 and finishing the mile and half race in 2:52.[3]
