With the Derby a little over two months away, there are lots of beginning preparations. 8 out of the 20 Derby horses have already been chosen. This gives you plenty of time to start planning your Kentucky Derby Party with some of the silks that the horses and jockeys will be wearing. Three out of the eight have red in their silks, a favorite color of the Kentucky Derby. Two of the eight are still waiting for their silks to be revealed.
