The Show package for $4,000 will include two tickets to a first-floor clubhouse box for the Kentucky Derby and Oaks; an on-site parking pass; and two tickets to the Kentucky Derby Post Position draw.

"The Kentucky Derby is among America's most elite sporting events, and many of the fans who visit Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Tricia Amburgey, senior director of sponsorship sales for Churchill Downs. "These tiered Kentucky Derby hospitality packages will offer fans a comprehensive, all-in-one opportunity to enjoy the Derby and Oaks on a premium level, and will provide access to exclusive areas and events that will make their experience truly second-to-none.

"Preferred ticket packages of this nature are commonplace for many high-level sporting events," Amburgey said. "Churchill Downs is excited to offer these packages on a limited basis for the 133rd running of the Kentucky Derby, and we hope they will help us gauge the public's interest in this unique level of Derby hospitality."
