KY Derby 101 – What Are Some Kentucky Derby Traditions?  (Did you make your reservations for the Ag Republican KY Derby Party?)

/ * * *

If you were to attend The Kentucky Derby in person, you would see a lot of people dressed in bold, formal outfits. You’ll see men in coats with tails and top hats, and women wearing their best dresses with large, outlandish hats. There are whole museum exhibits dedicated to the outfits that people have worn to the Derby.

But even if you don’t attend the Derby in person, you can enjoy another tradition associated with the race: The drinking. The traditional drink of The Kentucky Derby is the Mint Julep, made with Kentucky bourbon. Other traditions include listening to the Kentucky state song played pre-race, watching the winner get draped with a garland of roses, and, of course, betting on the winner.

Primary Election verses General Election . . . what is the difference? 

/ * * *

The Spring Primary Election each party choses their candidate to move onto the General Election in the Fall.  In other words, the Republican Primary Election Ballot will only have Republican candidates on it as the Republicans choose the candidate, they wish to nominate for their candidate for the Fall General Election; and the Democrat Primary Election Ballot will only have Democrat candidates on it as the Democrats choose the candidate, they wish to nominate for their candidate for the Fall General Election. 

Some people think they should have a voice on the candidates in the Primary Election even if they are not registered with the party.  That would be like voters in one state choosing candidates in another state; or one school district choosing the candidates for another school district.

If you have a candidate, you feel strongly for, you may switch your party, by completing a voter registration form and marking the change party box.  You may change parties as often as you like. 

Research the candidates, vote for the party candidate who most aligns with your values then Get Out The Vote on May 17th. 

The General Election will have the nominee, the person who won the each party’s Primary Election, on it and voters at that time can vote for either party. 

On May 18th, we roll up our sleeves and work for the candidate the voters chose to represent our Party and take control in 2023! 

KY Derby 101 – What horses can race in the KY Derby?  (Did you make your reservations for the Ag Republican KY Derby Party?)

Only horses that are three years old and are thoroughbreds can compete in The Kentucky Derby. Horses have to compete in a series of prep races to qualify to enter The Kentucky Derby. In each of these races, horses win points for placing in the top four finishers. The 20 horses who have the most points at the end of the prep races can compete in The Kentucky Derby.
