A storied immersion into the "Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports," designed to capture the heritage, pageantry, and high-stakes energy of the Kentucky Derby from the track’s most prestigious vantage point.

This two-day experience centres on the exclusive Turf Club at Churchill Downs, an elite, members-only enclave located on the third floor of the Clubhouse. Overlooking the homestretch and the iconic finish line, the Turf Club is the ultimate setting to witness racing history unfold. Guests enjoy a seamless transition from the electric atmosphere of the paddock to the climate-controlled refinement of their private tables, surrounded by the sport’s most influential figures and global celebrities.

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

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.
