Question

If we want to see the races before at Churchill Downs, where should we book?

Answer

We recommend getting a spot at millionaires row where the groom will be spending his day, at tables F11 and F12 with his Something Blue guys. If you want to spend time with the groom and his friends, it would recommend getting a seat at a table close by. Link for Tickets: https://www.ticketmaster.com/day-at-the-races-dining-louisville-kentucky-09-20-2025/event/160062C504F66410 When purchasing tickets, you need the letter E, F, or G at the end of the “MILR4” because those are the tables right around us. (Example: MILR4G 12 would be for G 12 table seats) Sales Open for tables F10 and F13 until Friday, Sept 6th - please let us know if tickets are sold out for tables F, and we will coordinate with Churchill Downs to allow more for purchase. If you get there early enough for Race 3 you might see the race named for the bride and groom :)
