700 Central Ave Louisville, KY 40208. This year was my first time and I had a great time, and learned a lot. Have fun with your outfit (and hat), but wear comfortable shoes because most folks do a lot of walking and standing. The 143rd Kentucky Derby was my bucket list trip for 2017. I've always been intrigued by all the traditions that surround this event. In fact, this was my first time attending a live horse race.
