On Wednesday, October 24, patrons decked in purple flocked to the Omni Hotel for Louisville Magazine's official Breeders' Cup Kick Off Party. Featuring food samples from Falls City Market [4] culinary stations, drink samples from Breeders' Cup sponsors and live music by Small Time Napoleon [5], Louisvillians and out-of-towners alike gathered to celebrate the upcoming Breeders' Cup World Championships [6] (Nov. 2-3). There were giveaways from Breeders' Cup and Equestricon [7], the premier horse-racing convention (Oct. 29-30), and all guests received a complimentary copy of the 2018 Breeders' Cup Official Commemorative Magazine [8].
Thanks to our event partners — Breeders' Cup, Omni Hotel, Equestricon, Maker's Mark, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Hendrick's Gin, Jackson Family Wines — and to everyone who attended. You all made this possible!
