馬兒的故鄉：肯塔基
肯塔基是一個以馬聞名的州。肯塔基境內的馬匹飼養、展示及競賽已經風行100多年。該州境內的許多綠草牧地被許多人視為最佳的馬匹飼養地點。而自早期馬背上的拓荒者，穿越坎伯蘭山口來到此處後，馬兒就一直是肯塔基州不可或缺的一部分。定居不久後，移民就開始養馬及進行馬賽，許多最初的馬賽是在一個長1/4哩的直道或小徑上舉行。到了1780年代，肯塔基州建立了第一個已知的圓形跑道賽馬場，而美國境內最著名的馬賽就是肯塔基大賽馬。自1875年以來，每年五月，這場賽事會在路易斯維爾市的邱吉爾唐斯舉行。您能舉出任何一匹贏得此項賽事的馬兒嗎？Secretariat是最厲害的馬匹之一。
Kentucky is a state that is known for its horses. For more than 100 years horse breeding, shows, and racing have been popular in Kentucky. The state's many grassy farms are considered by many to be the best place to raise and breed horses. Horses have been an important part of Kentucky since the early frontiersmen came on horseback through the Cumberland Gap. Early on, the settlers began racing and breeding their horses. Many early races were on straight quarter-mile roads or paths. By the 1780s, the first-known circular horse racing track had been constructed in Kentucky. The most famous horse race in the United States is the Kentucky Derby. It has been held at Churchill Downs in Louisville every May since 1875. Can you name any horses that have won the race? One of the greatest was named Secretariat.
