For the 125 th Kentucky Derby in 1999, Churchill Downs officials decided to defer to racing lore and change the direction of the decorative horseshoe displayed on the 14-karat gold trophy. The horseshoe, fashioned from 18-karat gold, had pointed downward on each of the trophies since 1924. To commemorate Kentucky Derby 125, the change was made and the horseshoe was turned 180 degrees so that its ends pointed up. The trophy now annually incorporates the horseshoe with the ends pointing up. Racing superstition decrees that if the horseshoe is turned down all the luck will run out.

  • 2019 Awards Plan Appendix B
    FTBOA 2019 Industry Promotion Plan This document memorializes the ongoing activities of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’ Association (“FTBOA”) in promoting the Florida Thoroughbred industry. Mission Statement: It is the mission of the FTBOA to promote the State of Florida’s Thoroughbred industry, educating the public within the state, across the country, and internationally about the benefits of breeding, buying, owning, training, and racing in Florida. These efforts target individuals already active in the world of Thoroughbreds and/or other horse breeds, as well as potential newcomers to the community of horse enthusiasts. The goal is to make Florida the most attractive Thoroughbred environment possible as compared to other locales and their competing incentive and promotional programs, leading to enhanced economic benefits and employment opportunities for the State of Florida and its citizens. The importance of the industry and these promotional efforts is recognized in Florida law, which created the Florida breeder awards program “to encourage the agricultural activity of breeding and training racehorses in this state.” Fla. Stat. §550.26165(1). This program is “intended to encourage Thoroughbred breeding and training operations to locate in this state,” and the FTBOA is given considerable flexibility in its design, because this program “must be responsive to rapidly changing incentive programs in other states.” Fla. Stat. §550.26165(5)(a). Beyond the FTBOA’s operation of the breeder awards program, the importance of the FTBOA’s efforts to promote the state’s Thoroughbred industry is underscored by the state’s dedication of funds to the FTBOA “for general promotion of the industry.” Fla.

  • Derby Day Fun As the 145Th Annual Kentucky Derby Occurs This Weekend, We Are Celebrating with Mint Juleps and Derby Pie
    Derby Day Fun As the 145th annual Kentucky Derby occurs this weekend, we are celebrating with mint juleps and Derby Pie. This is my first Derby pie and it was easy to make. The recipe describes it as a thick, gooey chocolate chip cookie meets a warm buttery pie for a heavenly and decadent Southern dessert. Using a pre-made pie crust (I always use Trader Joe’s brand as I find it to be the best), fill a 9″ pie dish. Line the bottom of the crust with semi-sweet chocolate chips and toasted pecans or walnuts (I used a combination of both). Pour a mixture of eggs, sugar, flour, butter, bourbon, vanilla and salt over the chocolate and nuts. Bake 40 to 45 minutes until set. Let pie cool to room temperature and add Bourbon Whipped Cream on top. I added chocolate chunks on top of the Bourbon Whipped Cream Click Here for the pie recipe! While I was making the pie, my son was making Mint Juleps. With 4 simple ingredients~~simple syrup, mint, bourbon and ice, you can make this Derby Day drink. Click here for the recipe. Here are some fun facts that you may not know about the Kentucky Derby. Nineteen past winners have had names beginning with the letter “S,” including Secretariat, the fastest horse in Kentucky Derby history, who completed the 1973 race in just under two minutes. The amount of food consumed at the Derby is pretty astounding. On average, spectators will eat 142,000 hot dogs, 18,000 barbecue sandwiches, 13,800 pounds of beef, 32,400 jumbo shrimp, 9,000 scallops, 8,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 cookies and 300,000 strawberries.

  • Winner's Circle
    WINNER’S CIRCLE / PRESENTATION STAND The Kentucky Derby Winner’s Circle, that small plot of hallowed land that so many horsemen have longed to stand in on the first Saturday in May, has been a Derby tradition since Lawrin received his honors for winning the 1938 Kentucky Derby. Prior to that time, there were various areas used for honoring the Kentucky Derby winner. From 1875-1929, the Kentucky Derby winner would stand on the racetrack in a circled area drawn out in chalk dust, leading to the phrase “winner’s circle.” Track officials moved the presentation from the track from 1930-37 and made the winner’s presentation in an area that adjoined the clubhouse. Finally for the 64th running in 1938, a presentation stand, featuring a new electric odds board was constructed. Every Kentucky Derby winner since that time has been led to the infield presentation area to be honored. Since 1944, the winner’s circle has included a landscaped horseshoe floral arrangement that the winning horse is led into for photographs. Over the years, the presentation stand has undergone various changes including the addition of terraced planters that were constructed adjoining the area when the Matt Winn Turf Course was developed in 1985. The odds board that helps make up the presentation stand was outfitted with an electronic message center display system in 1997 to replace the incandescent bulbs that previously provided odds and payoffs. The presentation stand underwent a renovation, which included new framing and a new rooftop, was completed in the fall of 2016. Although the winner’s circle only has been used to honor the Kentucky Derby winner, a limited number of couples have used the site for weddings over the years.
