Tauck rolls out the red carpet for our guests on Run for the Roses: The Kentucky Derby – our exclusive five-day event in Lexington, Kentucky, celebrating the 140th Running of the Kentucky Derby, April 30 – May 4, 2014. Experience the excitement leading up to the first leg in horse racing's coveted Triple Crown from the moment you arrive in Lexington... and the thrill of viewing the Derby as a VIP in Tauck's reserved seating at Churchill Downs.
You'll have two ways to experience the event. "Thoroughbred World" is perfect for horse enthusiasts and includes admission to the Kentucky Oaks, the Kentucky Derby's sister race for fillies held the day before the Derby. You'll also have the thrill of viewing both races as a VIP in Tauck's reserved seating at your choice of two exclusive options at Churchill Downs in Louisville – the Winner's Circle box or the premium Jockey Club Suite (limited to just 23 Tauck guests and available on "Thoroughbred World" only) – enjoying great views from enclosed air-conditioned suites with open decks, open bar and dining throughout the day, a live pari-mutuel teller and more. The second way to experience the event is "Bluegrass Country," focusing on the historic traditions of Lexington and the Bluegrass region, with Tauck's reserved Derby seating in Churchill Downs' Starting Gate box unit.
