This is a damn fine establishment. Being among the hoi polloi at the Kentucky Derby was a great afternoon. For $36 you can buy yourself four mint juleps and become heavily intoxicated.

You can't miss the Kentucky Derby. Buy tickets from the Churchill Downs website well in advance. Parking is very difficult so get there early. There are also other great races to watch at this track.

You really should catch the fall or spring meet at Churchill Downs here in Louisville. You don't even have to be a betting person to enjoy the day. It's a beautiful place to spend with family and friends.
