Description:
The Kentucky Derby and Super Bowl are uniquely and indelibly etched into the fabric of American culture. One dates back to 1875. The other found its footing in the 1966 season with the first game being played on Jan. 15, 1967. One owns a Saturday, the other a Sunday. They take place roughly three months apart: The Super Bowl now falls on the first Sunday in February, while the Kentucky Derby has been run on the first Saturday in May since 1946.
