all in Triple Crown

Whenever someone asks “why should I bet on horse racing?” a great answer is the potential for massive returns on a small investment, and the trifecta is a wager that offers this opportunity.

My colleague Dan Tordjman outlined his first time hitting the Kentucky Derby trifecta in the first installment of this blog series. I was lucky enough to hit the Derby trifecta three times in four years in 2012, 2014, and 2015 (none since, of course!).  

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. And of course, the spotlight shines brightest on Kentucky’s biggest city during Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve week.

Though the song says, “The sun shines bright on my Old Kentucky Home,” it doesn’t always work out that way on the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs. Mother Nature often can be found among the crowd of 150,000, bringing a dose of rain and a wet track to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve.
