RUN FOR THEROSES: THE KENTUCKY DERBY
Tauck rolls out the red carpet for our guests on this exclusive five-day event celebrating the 138th Running of the Kentucky Derby! Experience the excitement leading up to the first leg in thoroughbred horse racing’s coveted Triple Crown from the moment you arrive in Lexington, Kentucky... and the thrill of viewing the Derby as a VIP in Tauck’s reserved seating on the First Turn at Churchill Downs, enjoying
our private Trackside Village unit with pari-mutuel betting windows, open bar and dining throughout the day. Limited to 200 guests, our 2012 Run for the Roses enhances the Derby experience with horse farm and distillery visits, and offers a choice of two itineraries: Bluegrass Country, focusing on the historic traditions of Lexington and the Bluegrass region; or Thoroughbred World, perfect for horse enthusiasts and including admission to the Kentucky Oaks... the annual “sister race” for 3-year-old fillies held at Churchill Downs the day before the Kentucky Derby.
