Have you ever been to Churchill Downs to watch the Kentucky Derby? I've seen it 30+ times on TV but have never seen it live. Let me tell you, it's a RUSH - even if you don't have a horse in the race!
I was able to snap some photos of the contenders as they made their way to the gate and during the race!
I'm here at the Kentucky Oaks in Louisville, Kentucky and I've got to tell you - the fashion is amazing. I love seeing these beautiful hats and wish we could wear them year round! Okay maybe not... Check out our gallery from the fashion show and some of the amazing creativity that went into some of these hats!
