In recent years, Louisville has gone from having the reputation as a “hidden gem” on the dining and entertainment scene to being duly recognized as one of the best cities in the U.S. for unique restaurants and bars. Of course, the spotlight shines brightest on Kentucky’s biggest city during Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve week.

We’re less than two weeks away from horse racing’s biggest event of the year, and contenders for the 152nd Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve continue to arrive at Churchill Downs in advance of the cutoff date of Saturday, April 25.

If you’re heading to the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, get ready for an experience like no other! Whether it’s your first time at Churchill Downs or you’re a seasoned Derby-goer, there’s always something new to learn.

The atmosphere in the pavilion turned electric as the highly anticipated Flightline colt (Hip 1056) made his entrance into the ring during the April 17 finale of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Spring 2 year-olds in training sale. Following a week of relentless buzz, the opening bid shattered expectations, starting the floor at a cool $1 million.

There’s just a little over two weeks until the 152nd Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve on May 2, and contenders for the first jewel of horse racing’s Triple Crown are arriving at Churchill Downs for final workouts before the race.
