The group from Tusculum enjoyed grandstand seating for the race, offering some protection from the wind while providing a good view of the track.
On Saturday, April 16, the group enjoyed the Derby Qualifier Bluegrass Stakes Day at Keeneland Race Track in Lexington, Ky. After the races, the group gathered for a tailgate meal.
Those who wished also could stay overnight at the Campbell House/Crowne Plaza Hotel near the race track. On Sunday, April 17, alumni enjoyed a tour of a horse farm or a round of golf, their choice. The tour gave an inside look at what goes into the training and preparation of race horses.
The event was coordinated by the Office of Alumni Relations in partnership with the Tusculum College Women’s Soccer team. For the past few years, the Women’s Soccer program has used the trip as a fundraiser, taking a bus to Kentucky from campus.
