  • Kentucky Derby 2018
    KENTUCKY DERBY 2018 MAY 4TH MAY 5TH MAY 7TH–9TH Kentucky Oaks Kentucky Derby Endeavor Louisville ISP The first Kentucky Derby was held in 1875 in front of a crowd of a mere 10,000. Today, it draws over 150,000 people to the city of Louisville for one of the biggest, greatest, and most historic sporting events in America. Due to the size of the event, if you are hoping to attend the Derby pre-ISP, you’ll need to start planning sooner rather than later. We’ve put together this guide to help you out. WHAT IS KENTUCKY OAKS? The day before the Kentucky Derby is Kentucky Oaks, the top race in the US for three-year-old female horses. The Kentucky Oaks race is just as historic as the Derby, having also been established in 1875. Spectators are encouraged to wear pink at the Oaks in support of breast cancer and other women’s health issues. WHAT IS THE KENTUCKY DERBY? The Kentucky Derby is one of the longest running sporting events in America. This one and one-quarter mile long race for three-year-old Thoroughbred horses is often called the “Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports.” The day features 14 races, with the Kentucky Derby being the 12th race. Throughout the day, spectators wager on different horses while sipping mint juleps and sporting their biggest hats and best preppy, pastel Derby attire. It’s truly a bucket list kind of event that you don’t want to miss! MORE DETAILS WHEN TO ARRIVE People typically arrive the Thursday or Friday before the Derby.

  • The Kentucky Derby Museum Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky
    The Kentucky Derby Museum Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky Role: Architect for New Museum Building Area: 45,000 sf Description: In 1982, our firm was selected through a national competition to design a new building for the Kentucky Derby Museum. Located at world- renowned Churchill Downs, the new building has been sited to create an entry courtyard that will impart a sense of arrival that is appropriate to this famous institution. This entry court is flanked on the east by the museum building, on the west by the historic Club House and on the south by the entry portico to Churchill Downs. In order to unify the architectural expression of these two buildings, the front façade of the new Museum is designed as a mirror image of the front of the Club House, with the entry doors of both buildings on an axis with each other. The Museum’s twin spires and slopping roof echo the architecture of the race track structure, which further unifies the Churchill Downs complex. Inside the 45,000 sf three-level building, there are approximately 18,000 sf of public areas, including 12,500 sf of long term and temporary exhibition galleries on two levels, a gift shop, dining facilities, and an auditorium. Outdoor areas south of the museum building will be used for live demonstrations of tracking and saddling, outdoor dining, and additional exhibits. The primary goal of the exhibition program is to tell visitors about horse racing in general and the Kentucky Derby in particular so that they will find their experience at Churchill Downs more interesting and enjoyable.

(Thursday, November 21, 2019) – Churchill Downs today released the 2020 “Official Art of the Kentucky Derby” by beloved Louisville artist Keith Anderson. Anderson’s oil and acrylic paintings capture a perspective of the iconic race that is unlike any ever featured, sharing the energy and color that will be on display during each the 146th running of the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve and the Longines Kentucky Oaks. As a Louisville native and Brown-Forman employee, Anderson is no stranger to the excitement of the Kentucky Derby and horseracing. He and his art are well known among Louisvillians and Derby fans. This year he completed the stunning Woodford Reserve mural that greets Main Street visitors with a field of racing Thoroughbreds and his art graces Woodford Reserve’s beautiful 2018 and 2019 Official Derby Bottles. In the past, Anderson also served drinks from behind Churchill Downs’ bar and worked his share of famous Derby parties. “To create the Official Art of the Kentucky Derby is an honor and a privilege and the biggest accomplishment of my career as an artist,” said Anderson. “Derby is the time for Louisville to shine. It is our Super Bowl. I thank God for the opportunity and look forward to being on the biggest stage in May.” “Keith Anderson is a Louisville favorite whose art has become an important part of our city and its love of racing,” said Kevin Flanery, President of Churchill Downs Racetrack.
