The Kentucky Derby, also known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” has been held on the first Saturday in May since its inception in 1875. The 2017 Kentucky Derby marks the 143rd running.
The race is for three-year-old thoroughbreds over a distance of one quarter mile (2 kilometers). It is held every year at the fabled Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky.
Another name for the Kentucky Derby is “The Run for the Roses” because of the tradition since 1883 of presenting the winner with a blanket of 554 long-stem roses.
Another of the most popular traditions involves the spectators. Every year, the most elite thoroughbred owners and spectators flock to Louisville to witness the action. This is an event to see and to be seen in. Only the most elite have access to the box seats, also known as “Millionaires Row”, where they sip their mint juleps and enjoy the race in peace and comfort.
This is the socialite activity of the month, with many closing to charter private jets to get that closer to the action as quickly and effortlessly as possible. You can start the fun early with gourmet catering and cocktails of your choice while you fly, and if your horse does not win, there will still be Champagne to celebrate on your return. Let us at Mercury Jets take the reins; you just sit back and relax.
