I am going to let you in on a little secret. I am related to a former Kentucky Derby winner.
The same jockey in fact that helped directors achieve authenticity in Sea Biscuit!
So The Kentucky Derby is no foreign notion in my household and Boston has it’s favored horse this year Wicked Strong, as the 3 year old colt’s owner was inspired to change it’s name to honor the victims of the Boston Marathon.

For us ladies, getting race day ready entails a great deal of time, effort and well-spent money. Blowout, nails, professional makeup application, outfit and most importantly, your hat.
While your hat (or fascinator) is truly the centerpiece of any Derby ensemble,
you’re not ready to step on the track without confidence.
