Down here in the South where I live, the Kentucky Derby is a pretty big deal, complete with an annual neighborhood party and a very competitive lady’s hat contest. But you don’t need a party invite or even a ticket to Churchill Downs to enjoy all the race festivities.

The Kentucky Derby app has everything you’ll need to enjoy the race from the comfort of your home, like the event line-up, information, stats, and photos of the horses, and yes, even a betting calculator. And while you’re waiting for the race to begin, you can test your Derby knowledge with the in-app trivia and brush up on your terminology, plus practice singing “My Old Kentucky Home.”

In fact, the only thing missing is a mint julep, but surprise, you can find the recipe right on your phone. -Kristen
