"Run for the Roses" là tên gọi riêng trong cuộc đua ngựa Kentucky Derby, tại đó con ngựa chiến thắng sẽ được làm đẹp bằng vòng hoa hồng. 

Ví dụ
Maximum Security’s Derby (cuộc đua ngựa ba tuổi) DQ was part of an interesting and controversial (gây tranh cãi) Triple Crown season. His infraction (vi phạm) during the Run for the Roses aside, the colt (ngựa non) did put together an excellent performance at Churchill Downs. 

I do appreciate the Festival of Flowers. Love the topiaries (nghệ thuật cắt tỉa cây), the wine walk, the arts and craft show, the photo contest and more. OK, I’m not much on the ladies luncheon (bữa trưa), although I have to say the hats those ladies don give Churchill Downs a run for the money during its run for the roses. 

The homebred 3-year-old crossed the finish line first May 4 in the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve, only to become a different kind of first. He was taken down by the stewards (quản lý) and placed 17th, making him the only horse disqualified (không đủ tư cách) from first for a racetrack incident in the 145-year history of the run for the roses.
