Never been there but it's on my bucket list. I guess if I go, I would have to drink that Mint julep no matter how bad it tastes. Do you drink the juice ?

Have Fun Try....

Only been there once and it has been many moons ago. was in the infield where it's the best place to be when going to the Derby IMO.

I've been to Churchill a few times but never to the Derby. I usually take it in at my home track , but this year i'm going the twinspires route.

Sounds like a great time. Have fun and i hope you cash a big one.

I have been to two derbys one in 1975 and the other one about 5 years ago plus I just got back from opening night this past sat. Had a blast at all times make sure u have a mint juleps made with early times that is the bourbon used at the track. For a stronger drink use the woodford reserve and mention you know Chris morris who is the king of woodford and Kentucky

I had a chance to go to one back in 1965 when I was going to school at the U of Toledo. A frat brother of mine was supposed to go with me, but he got caught up in an all night card game, and he lost all his money. I offered to loan it to him but he was so disgusted that he didn't want to go. Another guy said he might go but backed out at the last minute. I was thinking of going alone, but that didn't seem like much fun! Guess I'll never get there since I'm on the west coast!
