May your wee ones enjoy the Derby as much as you do. All the sites have been checked for safety. However, when looking for printables and coloring pages on this topic, many innocent looking sites were not so innocent. Take care and keep your children safe. You'd never let your child go to a place you've never been before, please don't let your child go to a site where a trust adult or you yourself have not been before.
