The First-Ever "Thurby", the Thursday before Derby, is becoming more popular among locals. There will be bourbon tasting and live bluegrass and country music. The Hart Strings from Georgetown, Indiana will play in the plaza. Track officials say a well-known country artist will headline, but the act has not been announced yet. There will also be a demonstration by Brown-Forman on how to make a new drink called a “New Fashioned” will be shown on the screens and these cocktails will be sold around the track and infield.
