Race day from the eyes of a survivor.
For the first 20 years of the Derby, the only “apparatus” used to start the race was a chalk line and a hand-waved flag or whip to spark the pack forward.
“I never went to the beach. I always went to the track.”
A blanket of tissue-paper roses awaits as antsy jockeys line up at the “starting gate.”
The horse rolled to an eight-length victory under regular rider Bill Hartack to come to Kentucky undefeated and was about as heralded as a horse could be.
Diversity at your Derby.
“When you put the hat on, it’s like you’re the biggest celebrity out there.”
“You put that on, you feel well-dressed.”
Stacks of compact fedoras, made from airy Florentine Milan straw, pop in shades of lavender and burgundy.
“I like having stuff around me.”
Celebrating the release of one of our most popular issues.
“The day of the show is a lot of adrenaline.”
