"It’s also Kentucky Derby Day," said Emerald Downs spokesperson Joe Withee on opening day. "We’ve never opened on Kentucky Derby Day before, so you’ll see a lot of hats and dressed up people.""We got a very strong group of jockeys this year," said Withee. "On the first Friday you get a free T-shirt if you come in, and that T-shirt gets you free admission for the rest of the Fridays of the season," Withee explained.
"The Kentucky Derby traditionally has been a dress-up fabulous hat event," said Emerald Downs sales spokesperson Vicki Potter, "and so, we’ve just kind of piggybacked on that by having our own fabulous hats." Potter says there are multiple categories for the dress up contest; including best dressed woman, man, children, the best handmade hats, and more. After the judges select the winners, they all get a prize. "Next week, we'll have bigger fields, and then in two weeks, we'll really start to hit our stride," promised Withee.
