This is a 1962 Kentucky Derby mint julep glass. The front depicts a horse and rider. The horse, No. 6, is wearing the victory red roses. I’m not up on my Kentucky Derby history, so I don’t know if No. 6 won the previous year or if someone was making a less than subtle prediction of the 1962 winner! Front also has line drawings of the Churchill Downs steeples and a large horseshoe and says “Kentucky Derby" and “Churchill Downs.” Back lists all the Kentucky Derby winners from 1875-1961. No markings for Triple Crown winners or fillies. Glass stands 5-1/4" tall x 2-3/4" in diameter. Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or scratches. Graphics are bright and crisp with no fading.
