The Latonia Derby was an American Thoroughbred horse race run annually from 1883 through 1937 at Latonia Race Track in Latonia Kentucky. Open to three-year-old horses for its first 52 years the Latonia Derby was contested at a mile and a half; in 1935 the race was shortened to a mile and a quarter. It began as the Hindoo Stakes in honor of the Kentucky-bred U.S. Racing Hall of Fame horse Hindoo.
