What is the best bargain ticket for the Kentucky Derby?

I am going to 2009 derby and want to know a little about the best way to maximize my experience. Where is the best place (bargain wise) to watch the race live. Where to stay when coming in town from Nashville? How early to get there race day? Is the infield the best place to be for a racing and wagering fan?

I am posting a link that will give you some information on tickets, where to stay, etc. I am in Franklin, so I am familiar with the route you will take. Every year about 150,000 people attend the Derby and most of the good tickets are far gone by now. You can call Churchill downs office and talk with them about tickets if you like.
If you go to the infield you will not be able to see the race. There are many obstructions preventing the view of the track there. I would advise you to get there early, even though the race is late in the day. There is much to see and a lot of excitement. Since I don’t know how old you are I will tell you that the infield is mostly college age people and they are there for a party. Lots of drinking, etc. Have a great time at the Derby

1951 POSTCARD BURGOO KING KENTUCKY DERBY WINNER HORSE $2.50

Who has a good burgoo recipe?

“Who, excepting Kentuckians and their favored Southern Friends and kinsmen has ever really known the bliss of genuine burgoo?”

- 1906 Washington Post 16 June 6

Burgoo and the Kentucky Derby Burgoo King

“Burgoo King,” Winner of 1932 Kentucky Derby, “Bred in Old Kentucky”

A little trivia: “Kentucky Burgoo” is the celebrated stew which is served in Kentucky on Derby Day, at Political Rallies, Horse Sales and other outdoor events. Mr. J. T. Looney, of Lexington, is one of Kentucky’s most famous Burgoo-makers and it was for him that Mr. E. R. Bradley named his 1932 Kentucky Derby winner “Burgoo King”. The blanket of roses designed in 1931, by Mrs. Kingsley Walker for the Kentucky Derby winner was first worn in 1932 by “Burgoo King”. Burgoo King, chestnut colt, by Bubbling Over – Minawand by Lonawand, Winner 1932 Kentucky Derby and Preakness. His sire, Bubbling Over, won Kentucky Derby in 1926. Owned by Col. E.R. Bradley, Idle Hour Farm, Lexington, Ky.

Hubby is from Owensboro KY

Kentucky Derby Questions?

Is there an age limit on attending the Kentucky Derby? I’m currently 19, and go to a lot of horseracing with my dad, and would like to take him.

Do you have to buy tickets in advance? How much do they cost? For two people? Is food expensive at Churchill Downs?

I’m not always up on fashion or high quality clothing, but am willing to buy and wear it, What is typically worn by women? Does the clothing vary by where you’re sitting?

I know it’s a lot of questions, but I appreciate any and all answers.

Hi Scoop,
I don’t think there is an age limit to attend. If you are 19, you are certainly old enough

It is always wise to buy tickets in advance. The Derby always draws a huge crowd.

Some women wear fancy hats and dresses and high heels. I go to New York every year for the Belmont Stakes and I always want to be comfortable. I wear walking shoes, or tennis shoes, slacks and a nice shirt. There is a lot of walking, and if you wear heels, you will be very uncomfortable. You do see people with the fancy dresses and hats, limping around with heels, but that is mainly expected of owners and trainers female connections. If you want to be comfortable, wear comfortable shoes. The clothing you wear is really your choice. Here is a ling that you can call and find out about tickets. Good luck and have a great time at the Derby.

Kentucky Derby Cake or Louie’s Derby cake?

Recently I saw this cake made on the Food Network, but did not get the recipe. I have searched Food Network and every other cooking site I can find without sucess. It was made in a bakery in Louievelle, KY. I think the baker was a woman. I would love to have this recipe.
Thanks to both of you for the recipes. These are not the one I was looking for but they sound good. I’ll give them a try. I found the bakery that makes the “Louie’s Derby Cake”, but not the recipe. Probably won’t. They want $30.95 for the cake, plus shipping!
That’s 39.95.
Thank you so much Stacy. This is exactly what I was looking for. I will make it as soon as I can get to the store and buy the ingredients !!! Hope our cakes come out as good as I think they will.

A lot of times on the FoodNetwork if the show is about places and such and not a true cooking show they do not have the recipes on line.

Here’s what I found

With all of the elements of a Southern mint julep cocktail, this cake is perfect for Kentucky Derby Day. The rich pound cake has a white chocolate ganache frosting with a light mint flavor to complement the bourbon butter sauce infused in the cake. Don’t wait for Kentucky Derby Day to make this cake. Even without the bourbon butter sauce and/or creme de menthe frosting, the cake will shine with a simple dusting of powdered sugar. For a sheet cake, shorten the cooking time to 35 to 40 minutes.

3 cups cake flour
2 cups white sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

PREPARATION:

STATISTICS PROBLEM FOR KENTUCKY DERBY?

Hello.
I’m doing a Statistics Project on if Post Position in the Kentucky Derby really matters. What kind of statistics test could I use for this. I already have a data table made out with the Post Position number of each horse that has won and the number of horses in each race.

Do you guys have any suggestions???

Thanks in advance!!

If I were you, I would do a hypothesis test with proportions. I don’t know how many positions there are in the Kentucky Derby, but let’s just say there are 20. Then you would expect that 5% of the races would go to each position (assuming there is no advantage based on position). Test the claim that the Post Position has an advantage (i.e. that the proportion of winners in the post position is greater than 5%).

In order to do a thorough examination, you should also explore how positions are assigned. Are they random? If so, then doing the hypothesis test is fairly easy. It they are not assigned randomly, then you have a much tougher task.

If you don’t know how to do a hypothesis test, then ignore everything I just said, and maybe make a bar chart with each position.

You want to know about the FSU vs. BC game?

Florida State will step up to the challenge on defense and make it close. Unfortunately, it’s on the road in the cold north which won’t favor our southern boys in the hostile environment. Plus X-man Lee is suspended and even though he throws picks his mobility and play-making ability will be missed. Weatherford is more stable but the offensive line just can’t block. FSU has simply been losing the war in the trenches the past couple of years and before that it was horrible QB play. Let’s hope they get some good recruits because this bunch on the line just doesn’t seem to have coachable talent.
Too bad about Xavier Lee. He can play real solid coming in off the bench (see game vs. Alabama). Weatherford should always start and finish games with Lee playing in the middle. Forget QB consistency. Maybe even bring back the Kentucky Derby offense!
Oh well, Go Noles!

fsu will win big

Where to buy 2008 Kentucky Derby racing program other than at the track?

I want to buy a 2008 kentucky Derby program but not at the track. Does anyone know of any websites or locations in Louisville, Ky to purchase a program?

Check the Churchill Downs site and it should tell you where to purchase programs off track.

For instance in Texas, I purchase Lone Star Park programs at a Tom Thumb grocery store the day before after 4 pm
