1 3 2 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 4.14 Horse Country Kentucky is Horse Country The offcial Derby race may only last two minutes, but the excitement around Louisville builds for at least two weeks or longer and, for many, horse enthusiasm runs year-round. This special Horse Country advertising section utilizes the know-how of several local experts in the horse industry to get you up on the saddle — supporting a breast cancer initiative in the state's equine industry, playing the ponies on a daily basis, visiting a horse farm and living the equestrian life. On Oaks Day, Churchill Downs race fans "Pink Out" to raise breast cancer awareness and honor breast cancer survivors through Horses and Hope, an organization that works with the state's equine industry to provide breast cancer education, screening and treatment referral. The offcial account wagering platform of Churchill Downs Inc. and the Kentucky Derby, TwinSpires.com, offers horse racing enthusiasts state-of-the-art ways to play the ponies on a daily basis as well as access premium tips, selections and analysis through its association with Brisnet.com, the offcial handicapping information provider of the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs. With roots that span generations, Hermitage Farm is a renowned equine operation tied to Oldham County's rich farming industry. Located on 700-acres outside of Louisville, Hermitage has been a successful working farm for nearly two centuries. Hermitage is also home to the Sport Horse division and International Training Center.
