The Kentucky Derby
Churchill Downs
Louisville, KY
May 2, 2009
Horse-racing is just one of the attractions of the annual "Run for the Roses." Louisville rolls out the red carpet, creating a huge "lawn party" atmosphere, complete with parties, parades and people watching extraordinaire. Mint Juleps, Southern drawls and stylish hats become the order of the day, as everyone becomes a Kentucky Colonel, whether interested in horses or not. Watching the big race from the exclusive Club House, where the serious action is, allows serious elbow rubbing with owners, celebrities and high stakes players ... all part of a very unique experience. Add upscale accommodations, private transportation,private receptions and great food and everyone leaves with indelible memories, bragging rights for a lifetime .. and a big hat!
