#DidYouKnow The #tradition of the Kentucky Derby hat began at the inception of the race; the founder Col. Meriwether Lewis Clark Jr. wanted to ensure a good crowd at his event. At the time the race track had a reputation as immoral and dangerous so Clark looked to other successful races for inspiration.
According to the Kentucky Derby Museum “He loaded up a wagon full of high society women and they were going door-to-door telling their friends, ‘We’re going to have a picnic at the racetrack,’”. And it worked! The wealthy class poured into the #stadium in their finest, as a place to see and be seen.
The tradition of the #hat lives on as a fun element to the races (and more practically to keep the sun out of spectator's eyes). 👒

“When preparation meets opportunity is when you will be the most successful.”
A philosophy that Neil Morris lives and trains by. When Middleburg Life came out to the track Neil shared how the importance of preparation is just as important as luck.
