What's been described as the most exciting two minutes in sports is so much more than that! Whether your a first timer or an absolute junkie like me - the Kentucky Derby is all about the Experience. Watching ladies place hatboxes in the overhead bins, live music piping through the Louisville Airport and offerings of bourbon balls sets the tone for a long weekend of ponies, pagentry and while not necessary but nice - profits. For over 20 years I have been attending the most exciting live sporting event in the world - the one and only Kentucky Derby at The Churchill Downs. My experience has improved every year since my first and I want to make yours better too! I created this blog to discuss my various firsthand experiences and hear from readers about their favorite things to do in and around the Derby!
