On the first Saturday in May, Louisville is besieged with
visitors that have come to witness the most prestigious thoroughbred horse race
in America. From a birds-eye view, Churchill Downs Race Track becomes a moving
flotilla of expressive hats showing a flash of silver cups.
Surrounding a dirt race track are stands full of race
enthusiasts, socializing as they wait to see who is going to become the winner
of the first leg of the Triple Crown trifecta.
This “Run for the Roses” race is full of
traditions that date back to 1875. It has run every year since. Three-year-old

traditional Mint Julep libation. The late afternoon sun sparkles on the specially
designed silver Mint Julep cups as race traditions are upheld.

movie, concert, musical)
- Cross-stitched or other handmade gifts

- A page or passage from their favorite book
- A pressed version of their favorite flower
- And, of course, photos of the two of you
