Kentucky Derby Event –

The Bulleit Bourbon Derby DayClub: Presented by Sanderson Lincoln 

Enjoy Festive Experiences with LIVE horse racing, private betting plus a new 50/50 Raffle to benefit The Turf Paradise Foundation

(PHOENIX, Ariz.) – Arizona’s most exclusive and only Kentucky Derby Event with LIVE thoroughbred horse racing and on-site private betting is proud to announce a brand-new 50/50 Raffle to benefit a special charity when The Bulleit Bourbon Derby DayClub: Presented by Sanderson Lincoln returns to Turf Paradise on Saturday, May 1st, 2021. 

As part of the 50/50 Raffle at The Bulleit Bourbon Derby DayClub guests can buy as many tickets as they want as soon as the gates open at 10:45 a.m. until the running of the Kentucky Derby at approximately 4:05pm. 

Tickets will be sold for $1 each, or 15 for $10 or 40 for $20. After the Kentucky Derby Race, the winning raffle ticket number will be displayed and announced. One lucky attendee will take home half of the proceeds while the other half goes to The Turf Paradise

Foundation, a non-profit which assists members of the horse racing community who have fallen on hard times including injured jockeys or stable workers, as well as others in need. Contributions to the Foundation also help to pay for the chaplaincy program at Turf Paradise which operates a chapel located in the stable area.

“This is a very fun and festive way to not only raise some valuable funds for those in need, but there’s also some great odds for someone to take home a large prize at the end of day,” said Event General Manager Leslie Owen. “We love our charity partners and it’s just another way for us all to give back while having fun on Derby Day.” 

The bigger and more socially distanced experience will also offer two unique experiences inside the Derby DayClub this year, including the Sanderson Lincoln Black Label Lounge and the Ketel One Botanical Pavilion. 

Guests can enjoy the Sanderson Lincoln Black Label Lounge which includes reserved tables in the covered, air-cooled Sanderson Lincoln Black Label Lounge track-side tent near the finish line. It includes amazing views plus convenient access to Turf Paradise betting terminals, no-host bar inside the tent for Mint Juleps, champagne, and cocktails, close proximity to

food trucks for additional refreshments and 65” TVs to watch the Kentucky Derby and live horse racing at Turf Paradise. Space is limited. Tables for two start at $250 and go up to $2,000 for a front row table of 8. Some table options include complimentary bottles of Veuve Clicquot or Chandon Champagne, rose centerpieces, and chocolate covered strawberries. 

Bulleit Bourbon Derby DayClub guests can also enjoy a new experience for 2021 called the Ketel One Botanical Pavilion. It includes reserved tables in the covered Ketel One Botanical Pavilion open-air tent. It is near the finish line but further off the backstretch than the Black Label Lounge. The Pavilion is close to the action and tables include a bucket of Ketel One Botanical Vodka Spritz Seltzers plus convenient access to Turf Paradise betting terminals, 65” TVs to watch the Kentucky Derby and live horse racing at Turf Paradise, no-host bar inside the tent for mint juleps, champagne, cocktails and close proximity to food trucks for additional refreshments. Space is limited. Tables for four start at $275 and go up to $400 for a front-row table.
