WWII limited the 1943 race to hometown Louisville fans only, and over 65,000 turned out to see Count Fleet, a heavy favorite, win on his way to the second Triple Crown of the 1940's.   The minimum bid reflects the fact that there are TWO Triple Crown winners in this lot.   The Kentucky Derby is a Grade I stakes race for three year-old thoroughbred horses, held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, on the first Saturday in May, capping the two-week-long Kentucky Derby Festival.   The Derby is frequently referred to as "The Run for the Roses," because a lush blanket of 554 red roses is awarded to the Kentucky Derby winner each year.      NOTE !!!
