All seating is outside, along rows of metal bleachers, at track level.

You cannot see the entire track and will only see the horses as they are loading into the starting gate and as the come out of the 4th turn and briefly into the homestretch during the Kentucky Derby race.
1st Floor Clubhouse – Sits at track level in sections 111 – 117 from the middle of the 1st turn to before the finish line. All seating is in “boxes” that each contain six folding chairs. You can see the horses coming down the front stretch into and through the 1st turn, then again as they come down the front stretch to the finish line.

All seating is in “boxes” that each contain six folding metal chairs. Rows A to C are outside, rows D to L are under the cover of a roof. You can see the horses at the start, down the front stretch into the first turn and then again coming into the 4th turn and back down the front stretch to the finish line. The crowds are less, betting windows are easier to access, and food options are upgraded from the 1st and 2nd floor. In our estimation, this seating area is the best combination of viewing location and price to experience the Kentucky Derby.
