About Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs is America's most storied horse race and the first leg of the Triple Crown. Known as 'The Run for the Roses,' this iconic event is as much about fashion, mint juleps, and Southern hospitality as it is about thoroughbred racing. Millionaire's Row and the exclusive Turf Club attract captains of industry, celebrities, and royalty. Private jet arrivals at Louisville's airports surge by over 200% during Derby Week.
