Kentucky Derby with Benchwarmer Sports!

by Sharon Harrison

Paddock area at the Kentucky Derby

"Let's go to the Kentucky Derby this year!" was uttered, after years of talking about going. One of us said it every year, but we would look at the tickets, look at the inflated prices of the hotels surrounding the track, think about all the people and all that traffic, and wonder where we would park. Then, we would shrug it off and think "maybe some day".

But, this year was a different story. I ran across information on Benchwarmer Sports. They put together a very nice package that made it very simple to go. They took care of everything for us. One price included everything and we didn't have to plan anything! So, this year my husband received a Valentine's Day/Anniversary/Birthday present in the form of our trip to Louisville, Kentucky!!!

Benchwarmer Sports booked us a very nice room in the Drury Inn & Suites Louisville East, and we were even able to add an extra night for some sightseeing. They booked the seats we chose for two days at Churchill Downs, one day for the Kentucky Oaks and one day for the Kentucky Derby. They provided transportation to and from Churchill Downs. Our tickets included unlimited food and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) while at the track. The hotel they chose offered free breakfast and nightly reception of free food and beverages. Benchwarmer Sports provided us with a detailed itinerary about a week before our trip and they were available at all times to help, if needed.

I highly recommend Benchwarmer Sports to help you navigate your first (or any) trip to the Kentucky Derby! They even offered some upgraded experiences, like upgraded seating and additional sightseeing tours. If you've ever thought about going to the Kentucky Derby, make it easy and book through Benchwarmer Sports!
