马儿的故乡：肯塔基
肯塔基是一个以马闻名的州。肯塔基境内的马匹饲养、展示及竞赛已经风行100多年。该州境内的许多绿草牧地被许多人视为最佳的马匹饲养地点。而自早期马背上的拓荒者，穿越坎伯兰山口来到此处后，马儿就一直是肯塔基州不可或缺的一部分。定居不久后，移民就开始养马及进行马赛，许多最初的马赛是在一个长1/4哩的直道或小径上举行。到了1780年代，肯塔基州创建了第一个已知的圆形跑道赛马场，而美国境内最着名的马赛就是肯塔基大赛马。自1875年以来，每年五月，这场赛事会在路易斯维尔市的邱吉尔唐斯举行。您能举出任何一匹赢得此项赛事的马儿吗？Secretariat是最厉害的马匹之一。
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.
