Come join us for a morning at historic Churchill Downs! We'll begin our “behind the scenes” tour with a hearty cafeteria-style southern breakfast at the track kitchen while watching Kentucky Derby equine hopefuls run their morning workouts. After breakfast, we'll walk through the trainers' barns, see the Grandstand, the Finish Line and Winner's Circle as our tour guide walks us through the Downs.  This will include a visit with the resident thoroughbred and his companion, a miniature horse.  At the close of the walking tour, we'll take in the Derby Museum and gift shop and have an opportunity to watch a fifteen-minute video titled “The Greatest Race.” Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Bus transportation will be provided by our friends at Kentucky State University. Thank you KSU!
