This year, the Kentucky Derby falls on the 50th anniversary of Secretariat's historic Triple Crown sweep. So on April 21, a new Secretariat Exhibit will be unveiled at the Kentucky Derby Museum (KDM). Beyond documenting history, leaders said opening the exhibit is their way of paying homage to the horse because his historic run did more than just set speed records."That race made the 1970s so special for so many different reasons," said Jessica Whitehead, curator of collections at KDM. "The golden age of racing, which really took place from the 1930s to the beginning of the 1960s, had ended, so people were starting to lose interest in horse racing. That race rippled across the country, and just brought back that excitement" For the past four years, Whitehead has been in charge of overseeing all the historical artifacts related to the Derby. Right now, in the vault, she said they have about 20,000 objects, photos, and clothes.On Friday, she grabbed a couple from the 1970s shelf to show off to visitors."The 1970s is when we started to see unique items like this really cool, custom, handcrafted purse," Whitehead said. "It actually doubled as a working clock. There is a battery pack inside of the purse, so you could literally have a countdown to the Kentucky Derby going on in your purse. The 1970s is when the spectator became a celebrity at Churchill Downs. People wanted to come see, and be seen."She went on to say that's when the hats got bigger, the dresses became flashier, and the infield turned into a party venue."There was new focus on the people coming to Churchill Downs. The Derby that we recognize today was born in that decade," Whitehead said.
