We wanted to present a quick hitting press release for this event because we were super impressed with both Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky. This is an ideal time to visit the racing mecca a get a good taste of the racing world (and world class restaurants) because it is two weeks before the zaniness (but great fun) of the Kentucky Derby. The host and guests names speak for themselves all legends to the sport.
At the historic Keeneland Sales Pavilion in Lexington, future Kentucky Derby winners have been sold to the highest bidder and gone on to greatness in winning the World’s Greatest Race. Names such as I’ll Have Another, Animal Kingdom, Big Brown and War Emblem have all pranced out of that sales ring and into the history books.
Join us April 17 as some of the biggest names in racing will be on that same stage to share with you their fondest memories of their Derby winning experiences. Enjoy an exclusive conversation hosted by Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas with Kentucky Derby winning Jockeys Laffit Pincay Jr., Angel Cordero Jr., Pat Day, Chris McCarron and Jorge Velasquez. Part of the evening entertainment features a unique, live auction of one-on-one experience packages with each racing celebrity. Reserve your ticket now for an evening of laughter, big personalities and the best stories in racing.
VIP reception begins at 5:30pm, doors open at 6pm and event begins at 7pm.
