2020 Kentucky Derby – Horse Country Connections

It is finally upon us – the first Saturday in…September?! Yes, that’s right – the Kentucky Derby, famously run the first Saturday in May each year, was postponed to run September 5th due to COVID-19 (and ultimately without spectators!). And notably, in a racing year unlike any other, the Derby is now the second of Triple Crown race series instead of the usual first.

Now that the race weekend is {finally} here, we’re looking at the line up and excited to share the many connections in the field to our Horse Country locations. Can anyone upset Tiz the Law? Whose your favorite?
