President Donald Trump praised the work of his administration in a statement on Saturday and shared his "best wishes" to the competitors of the 151st edition of the Kentucky Derby, an event he says represents an "iconic American institution."
Trump released a statement hours before the field of 19 thoroughbreds will take their place before stampeding 1.25 miles around Churchill Downs, in front of 150,000 fans on Saturday night.
"The Kentucky Derby is not only a stakes race, but also an iconic American institution and an elegant celebration of our culture, customs, and unwavering competitive spirit," the president’s statement read.
