🫶🐴📚 We agree with you Churchill Charlie - we’re loving this team spirit! The Kentucky Derby Museum is so excited about our new multi-year partnership with Churchill Downs Racetrack that supports the museum’s longstanding commitment to educating students about the Kentucky Derby. This partnership, with a financial commitment of $150,000 over three years, will bolster the museum’s free in-house field trips and outreach programs, ensuring that tens of thousands of students across Kentucky and beyond can experience the magic of the Derby.

A field trip to the museum is a core memory for local students - it has been for 40 years. Education has always been foundational to the museum’s mission and now we’re so excited to announce that Churchill Downs Racetrack will be supporting the museum’s programs! We give this partnership an A++ Churchill Downs Incorporated
