Derby Tickets
 

...have so arrived.

yay!! that must be the slip i got in my mailbox yesterday. Picking them up after work today!! first time going, who else is going - maybe a mini-dt meetup?

I'm arriving at around 8:25 a.m. on the 4th, heading straight to the Oaks. I'm psyched.

Hey Slotdirt,I do I go about getting tickets for next years derby.Happy to see your going this year,should be fun.Thanks

You should be able to apply for tickets in or around June. It took me about four years of trying to get tickets before I finally got them.

Have a great time, guys! I'll live vicariously through everyone that's there... one of these days I'll make it up there for the Derby.

Can apply online for them thru Churchill Downs ? Thanks

its alot easier if you are a twin spires club member

Think you have to be a TSC member to apply.

Thanks much,HAVE FUN,most important,win money,and check out all the ladies.:D

If anyone is going to the derby and would like a tour of the backside let me know. I work for a trainer back here at Churchill and I am done with work usually around 11am at the latest.

Well, that has potential.

Just let me know. You can't have guests in the dorm but you can bring guests onto the backside whenever you want and show them around. The trainer I work for has 20+ horses (no derby horse) but some really good horses. He is a pretty young guy, but I bet in a few years from now he will be one of the top trainers in the business. He is really smart and is excellent at placing his horses. I think he went to the derby in his second or third year as a trainer.
