The top
three winners of Kids to the Cup's fourth annual national essay
contest: Elizabeth Clark, from FL; Meredith Leary, from MA;
and Olivia Gross, from PA, won box seat tickets to the Kentucky
Oaks and Kentucky Derby. Winners were joined by their parents
for a backstretch tour and two exciting days at the races and
were presented with gift bags compliments of Churchill Downs.
Funny Cide's
stirring upset was set against the backdrop of tremendous weather
for both days.
Also joining
the group for the morning backstretch tour and visits to the
barns of D. Wayne Lukas, Bob Baffert, Jeff Mullins and Ron Ellis,
were members Amelia Baldree, Alison Baldree, Carly Silver, Ashley
Gibson, Anna Sitzler, Allison Parise and Brandon Benson. Members
were nice enough to also let their parents tag along.
After the
Oaks the entire group of members and parents gathered at John
E's Steakhouse for a delicious meal and some real good times.
Amelia Baldree, first recipient of KTTC's Edwin Gregson Memorial
Scholarship and a student at the University of Louisville, organized
the dinner.
