About This Experience
From the Friday running of the Kentucky Oaks to the main event on Saturday, guests are treated to a masterclass in hospitality. The Turf Club serves as a basecamp, offering a "see and be seen" atmosphere while maintaining the discretion and comfort of an indoor, covered setting. Between races, guests can explore the private covered balcony for views of the paddock and the legendary Twin Spires, or retreat to the interactive chef’s kitchen for a taste of Kentucky’s finest culinary traditions.
The hero experience - Turf Club Access - combines the thrill of the homestretch with the luxury of a premium open bar and curated gourmet menus, ensuring that every moment of the Derby weekend is as memorable as the race itself.
Sample Bespoke Itinerary
Day 1 - The Kentucky Oaks Arrive at Churchill Downs for the premier race for three-year-old fillies. Settle into your reserved indoor table in the Turf Club. Enjoy a chef-curated "Day Menu" and premium open bar while watching the races from your finish-line vantage point. Spend the afternoon taking in the "Pink Out" fashion and placing bets at private wagering stations.
Day 2 - The 152nd Kentucky Derby Return to the Turf Club for the main event. Experience a full day of world-class racing, transitioning to a specialised "Night Menu" as evening approaches. As the bugle sounds for the Run for the Roses, enjoy the climactic finish from your premium seat, followed by post-race celebrations within the club’s private lounges.
