Derby Legends Experience

Tour gift bag included for all guests

In the still of the morning, the thunderous sound of hooves barreling down the track takes your breath away. It’s an experience of a lifetime to witness Derby Legends in the making, and this intimate tour gives you access and insight you’ll never find anywhere else.

Spend your morning on the Backside of Churchill Downs watching this year’s Derby Contenders workout from the same viewing platforms as storied Derby trainers. As you take in the sights and sounds, your tour guide will weave in stories of past legends – from Aristides, the very first winner of the Kentucky Derby and Secretariat’s record-breaking Triple Crown win to Rich Strike, the longest shot to win the Derby in over 100 years! Celebrate these legends and more as we look back at 150 years of greatness!

Before returning to the Museum, you’ll have an opportunity to capture incredible panoramic views of the historic Twin Spires™!
