The Kentucky Derby also called “The Run for the Roses” is the first leg of the American Triple Crown and is followed by the Preakness Stakes, then the Belmont Stakes. Watch the race “Live” in St. Phillips Hall on the big screen HDTV Projector. Chow down on delicious roast beef and pulled pork sandwiches, and quench your thrust on some ice cold beer from the tap. If you want anything stronger you’re welcome to bring your own.
