All I can share from last year is when you see the track, the sights and sounds that is Churchil Downs as the sun comes up you will never forget.

Derby week last year, on Tuesday, I was in the house and will always relish that albeit for the short time. Only regret from last year was that we were not able to stay past the am hours but it was worth it.

Do it man, DO IT!
