Derby really is the best time of the year. How could it not be? It’s a rare chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones, dress to the nines and sit back and enjoy one of the most exciting moments in sports, as the horses set off for the finish line, and the world waits to see whose name will be included in the history books. This year was no different. American Pharoah claimed the 141st run for the roses, and as always, we were there, capturing all the action from the track and beyond. I know I will never forget this year’s Derby, and I’m sure you won’t either. That’s why this week’s feature looks back at the big race and all the fanfare surrounding it. We relive Derby Day as it unfolded, culminating in American Pharoah claiming the garland of roses while winning jockey Victor Espinoza rode to his second consecutive title. But perhaps the real story is that of Ahmed Zayat, the owner of American Pharoah and a determined individual who has been runner-up three times, before finally winning this year. In Sports, Churchill Downs insider John Asher gives us the lowdown on one of the most exciting Derbies in years, while Kent Taylor turns our attention toward potential UofL basketball recruit Maverick Rowan, to see if perhaps Louisville is actually in the cards for this high school student.
ties. Stephen Reily and Emily Bingham hosted a Derby Eve gathering, while Rhonda Jo and Jimmy Dan Connor celebrated with friends, out-of-town guests and live music at their annual Derby Party. Everyone remembers their first time, right? (to the Derby!) Well, in Life, we follow our own intrepid explorer, Bennett Duckworth, as he experiences the first Saturday in May at the track for this week’s Out and About. Together with a camera and pocket full of hope, he shares with us something that many of us never forget. Carla Sue is finally homebound as her World travels come to an end, and Lori Kommor brings it back stateside as she discovers local boutiques that will help you out for Mother’s Day. But now it’s time to sit back and leaf through this jam-packed publication, as we take a look at a memorable Derby 141 – and include with it our third annual Derby Wrap-Up, because, well, we just couldn’t give Derby week justice in just one issue. Relax and enjoy!
In anticipation of the grand finale, party goers were out and about before they hit the track with no signs of losing steam. The Great Steamboat Race finished in the Belle of Louisville’s favor, and the Post Position Draw set the stage for the weekend’s festivi-

the past, but not in 2015. But 2015 will also be remembered for its record crowd of 170,513 that were in attendance at the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby, more than in any other time in its history. More hats, fascinators, seersuckers and outrageously bold suits patronized the Downs than at any other time in its history. The result was one of the best Derbies in memory. The previous attendance record of 165,307 was established in 2012. This year, the two-day Kentucky Oaks-Derby weekend attracted a record 294,276, shattering the mark of 277,977 that was set last year. Now, imagine that. The race that Hunter S. Thompson wrote about so legendarily was a mere drop compared to this year’s edition. Winning owner Ahmed Zayat was quick to point out what good work Churchill Downs

has been a special horse since the first time I rode him. He has a lot of talent and is an unbelievable horse.

was capable of in terms of creating a memorable experience for owners, trainers and fans, all around the property, on a record breaking set of races over two days. “I want to say something in front of all of you here, because we should commend people when they do things well,” said Zayat. “In the past, there has been a lot of criticism about Churchill. As a person who has been coming here and had more than one Derby runner, I have seen a 180 percent change in all attitudes. And the whole organization from A to Z... I would like personally to thank them for their hospitality, for what they have done for all owners and horsemen. I think, again, it’s to be commended. It is very, very hard. In tradition and in things that happen one way to come, and to change it, and to do it in the way they have done it and to do all the things – it’s something that I personally applaud. And thank you very much for an unbelievable fun week. I can’t say enough thanks for all the team here.” Zayat’s son Justin, in the meantime, recalled how at the end of the race, the emotions of winning the race got the better of him and he vomited in the box as their horse finished the race.
the pursuit of a singular dream can quickly turn into a nightmare. But this is the case for Ahmed Zayat, owner of Zayat Stables, who came so close with Pioneerof the Nile (2009), Nehro (2011) and Bodemeister (2012), as well as Eskendereya, a horse that was favorite in many people’s eyes but had to scratch right before
This marks Baffert’s
So as American Pharoah – everybody’s pre-race favorite – bolted out of the starter’s gate, with Victor Espinoza aboard, charging into the lead, it was only a matter of time before Zayat’s dream came true. Sure enough, as Pharoah pulled away at the end, already cementing himself as one of the horses of the year, Zayat and his family, including his son Justin (who acts as his stable manager) poured along the narrow lane of the newly built Winner’s Circle Suites onto the damp and pliable dirt of the track to embrace. As Victor Espinoza passed by atop the latest Triple Crown contender, the Zayats and their entourage were in a scrum: hugging, celebrating and crying, enveloped in a freshly made cocoon of the world’s media, who were trying to capture the obvious joy.
FOURTH
Derby win
“I confirm that story,” said the younger Zayat. “I was so emotional. After the race I started throwing up because I was full of emotions. I didn’t know what was going through. Is this a dream right now? I just want to be woken up.” Added Ahmed Zayat: “I looked around and my wife is really crying, crying, like it really happened. And then I look at my son, and his girlfriend is holding him, and he is throwing up.”
“We were ready to rumble,” explained winning trainer Bob Baffert, who claimed his fourth Derby. “Since their last works, I was hearing how good they were, and I was hoping it would come true. I felt very confident going in.”
But ultimately, Derby is a time when dreams can finally come true. They can come true for a fan who bumps into his favorite trainer or catches a glimpse of his favorite jockey, in the same way they can materialize for a lucky individual who gets to go to Millionaire’s Row for the first time. But they can also come true for an owner who has finished second in the Derby three times, losing narrowly at the last moment. In circumstances like this, M A Y 7 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W .

the 2010 edition of the race. But Zayat, who left his native Egypt at age 18 and attended Boston University, where he gained a master’s degree before embarking on a career in business, is used to adversity, hard work and getting what he wants... eventually. Since the inception of Zayat stables in 2005, he has fielded regular winners in countless races, but the Derby has always eluded. Not now.
As for winning jockey Victor Espinoza, it was a third Derby and his second consecutive win, having ridden another fairytale

horse, California Chrome, in 2014. “I feel like the luckiest Mexican on earth,” said a beaming Espinoza. “(American Pharoah) has been a special horse since
the first time I rode him. He has a lot of talent and is an unbelievable horse. Turning for home I started riding a little harder. At the eighth pole, I just couldn’t put that other horse (Firing Line) away, but he got it done.” The Kentucky Derby delivers dreams. Many bets were won and lost, but those placing them lived the dream of going to the Kentucky Derby, whether it was their first or last. But for Ahmed Zayat, the dream of winning at Churchill Downs finally came true, and now he’s off to the Preakness in search of the second win in the Triple Crown – another dream that, for many, has remained just that – a dream. It’s been a long time since the Triple Crown was claimed, but then again, if anyone can make them come true, it’s the dreamers. VT

I was just glad to look as if I were from another time, thanks to the help of a thrift store like The Nitty Gritty. My plaid blazer, white fedora, and navy-blue tie with the shape of our state patterned on it (thanks to something I’d purchased at WHY Louisville years back) was the right kind of guard necessary to belong in a massive crowd gathered for an entire day of loudness, drinking and commotion – all dedicated to a couple minutes more significant than any other in the sport of horse racing.
time. That’s generally how I feel about venturing into a new environment – especially one as different as this. I don’t know what it meant to me until I’ve allowed the experience to develop. Now, all I can think is, Wow! I was there! I was walking around in the gorgeous construction that is Churchill Downs on its most important day, where every aspect of its vast space was being utilized. I got to feel the energy of a crowd from all walks of life during that moment of American Pharoah’s big win. And hours later, I got to fall into a deep sleep. Whew. VT
What really struck me about this day was seeing a common preparedness in nearly everyone there. They had picked a horse. They had found something specific to wear, with a plan for how they would watch the race, whether it was from a private section or a lawn chair planted in the infield lawn with that mammoth 4K screen in sight.
My experience was a surreal one, providing all the angles one is likely to witness, when attending this fashionable gathering. More than the races, I was curious of people’s enjoyment. Whenever a horse was making its way to the finish line, my eyes tended to drift toward the crowd, going bonkers with emotional release from the tension built during the race. You get to watch human beings go wild while the animal on the track is performing a task of intense discipline.
"You get to watch human beings go wild while the animal on the track is performing a task of intense discipline."
Why had I never done this? I’ve lived in Louisville since I was 5 years old, and I’d never seen a horse race in person. Well, it’s no secret to those who know me that I’m not into sports. The extent of my experience with our city’s beloved tradition was being in someone’s home most years, far away from the Downs, where folks grilled out, drank and stared at the television. Some years, I saw Derby coverage capturing people drenched in rainy, muddy conditions, and I couldn’t imagine wanting to be there at all.

John G. Heyburn II
T
he Honorable John G. Heyburn II, 66, United States District Judge, whose passion for the rule of law, wisdom, joy and kindness enabled him to rise to national leadership in the governance of the Third Branch of the U.S. Government, passed away peacefully on Wednesday afternoon, April 29, in his beloved home surrounded by his family and God’s Heavenly Country. He was born on Nov. 12, 1948, in Boston, MA, to Henry Reuter and Frances Starks Heyburn. Judge Heyburn graduated from Milton Academy (1966), where his track records remained unbroken until they were retired upon the building of a new track; Harvard University (1970), where he earned varsity letters all four years as a member of the decorated and undefeated Harvard track team led by the legendary Coach Bill McCurdy, as well as the Cross Country team; and the University of Kentucky College of Law (1976). In law school he was a member of the National Moot Court Team, a runner-up in the Sixth Circuit Moot Court Competition and a member of the Order of Barristers, an Appellate Advocate Honorary Society. He later served his alma mater as President of the Law Alumni Association and established the Henry R. Heyburn Alumni and Public Service Award there. In June, he is to be inducted into the College of Law’s Hall of Fame, the highest award
He began his legal career as an associate and later partner at the firm then known as Brown Todd and Heyburn, where he specialized in litigation. His love of politics was manifest in his early work for the 1971 gubernatorial campaign of Tom Emberton, where he made lifelong friends, including Sen. Mitch McConnell, in whose earliest campaigns for Jefferson County Judge/Executive he worked and for whom he consulted during Sen. McConnell’s tenure as County Judge. He also ran two campaigns for public office himself, for Jefferson County Attorney in 1981 and for Jefferson County Judge/Executive in 1989. Like his father and grandfather before him, Judge Heyburn was a leader in civic life. From 19831986 he served as chairman of the Louisville- Jefferson County Crime Commission. He served as a director of the Louisville Bar Foundation (1986-1988, 1994-1999), and director of Kentucky Citizens for Judicial Improvement (1975-1976). He served on a wide variety of boards including Cave Hill Cemetery, Inc., Louisville Committee on Foreign Relations, Louisville Free Public Library and Cedar Lake Lodge. He enjoyed memberships in a wide variety of professional, personal and sports related clubs, including The Royal Dornoch Golf Club in Dornoch, Scotland, the U.S. Seniors Golf Association, and Salamagundi, a Louisville speaking club over 100 years in continuous existence. In 1992, Sen. McConnell recommended him to President George H.W. Bush for appointment to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. In an unusual show of bipartisan support, Sen. Wendell Ford also endorsed Judge Heyburn’s nomination. Twenty-three years later, he has demonstrated clearly to all his unbiased commitment to accuracy in the application and interpretation of the law. He is remembered as a master of the courtroom, a delightful colleague and an artful chief judge of the Western District, who was known for
M A Y 7 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
his depth of preparedness, wisdom, humor and kindness. The late Chief Justice William Rehnquist appointed Judge Heyburn to the Budget Committee of the U.S. Judicial Conference in 1994. He rose to chair this committee and hence was in charge of the budget for the Federal Judiciary for eight years beginning in 1997. As chairman, he was called to interface and collaborate with House and Senate leaders, testify before various subcommittees, and consult with foreign governments regarding judicial reform -- tasks all well suited to his interest and knowledge of political and governance interests as well as the structure and needs of the Judiciary. In 2007, Chief Justice John G. Roberts appointed him to chair the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, which works to identify complex cases in Federal courts across the country and centralize them for efficiency and consistency. In 2014, his final year as chairman, the cases that came before the panel accounted for 38% of the civil cases filed in the Federal system. In his characteristic fashion of always seeking to improve, he thoroughly modernized the panel’s rules and procedures, resulting in streamlined procedures, increased accessibility and accountability, transparency of the process and amplified training for new and sitting judges presiding over such complex cases. His vision of judicial service was not merely to decide cases, but to help hold together and, wherever possible, to improve a legal system already the envy of the entire world. His vision was always for improvement, transparency and efficiency on both sides of the process. He treated the arguments of each lawyer and each party with respect and taught his clerks to do so as well. This kind, dedicated and respectful manner guided him in all he did. He took a special interest in sharing the joys and concerns of his family and others such as law clerks, colleagues considering life changes, or young people furthering a passion such as a sport, college or graduate school, or careers. More than anything, the quality that most defined and informed him and his actions personally and professionally was that he loved life and the individuals he encountered. He had an ability to cut through a concern to

its essential quality often not identified in the question brought before him. He saw promise and ability in others where some felt uncertainty and confusion in themselves. He inspired confidence with his insights and observations. His was a loving, observant, joyful and patient spirit who left us all better for having known him. How unique for such a wise and masterful judge to have lived in and out of the courtroom without making a judgmental or critical comment about another person. Well done, good and faithful servant. He was preceded in death by his father, Henry R. Heyburn, a prominent attorney, who was a founder of Brown Todd and Heyburn law firm (now Frost Brown Todd); politician, state senator, civic leader and World War II veteran, who earned both a Silver Star and a Bronze Star. He is survived by the love of his life, anchor, partner and wings in the joys and relationships of life as well as the challenges, Dr. Martha Keeney Heyburn; two sons, William Arthur Heyburn of New York City, and John Hail Heyburn of Washington, D.C.; his mother, Frances Starks Heyburn; two brothers, Franklin Heyburn of Vermont, and Henry (Alicia) Heyburn Jr. of Maine; a sister, Frannie Pistell, of Long Island; their children, his nieces and nephews, as well as his brothers-in-law and their sons, who are like brothers to his sons; and he is survived by all those he loved and mentored, and the institutions he served and worked to leave better than when he accepted the challenge of their leadership, which may be his living legacy.

Churchill Downs and the community.
To be transparent, I am employed by Churchill Downs and am paid to say good things. But the jaw-dropping results of Horse Sense a fantastic weekend (kudos and thanks to the Higher Power – or pure luck – that providJOHN ed us with a pair of glorious ASHER spring days), I was left, at least As tired as you might be of momentarily, with a vocabuhearing Tom Hanks and countless friends lary that consisted of one word. and associates with a Gump impression In my 34th consecutive year of working in their arsenal utter that line, it works a Derby and Oaks Weekend as a member for the spectacular Kentucky Derby and of the media and, since 1997, a represenOaks Weekend that just concluded at tative of Churchill Downs, a single-sylChurchill Downs. lable, three-letter word said it all for me. Spectacular racing, touching stories and staggering numbers ruled the weekend. Total Oaks-Derby attendance reached 294,276 – the first time that number has ever flirted with 300,000. And on Sunday, when hard-working volunteers picked up the last piece of trash those crowds had left, we had a winning Derby colt that again was fueling dreams that he might be the one to end a Triple Crown drought now 36- years-old.
Zayat Racing’s American Pharoah did what a Derby favorite is supposed to do: He put himself in contention against quality opponents, took the challenge to them on the far turn, and got the job done through the 1,234 1/2 from the quarter pole to the finish line. In doing so, he extended his winning streak to five consecutive major stakes races, gave joyous owner Ahmed Zayat his first Kentucky Derby victory – permanently shaking Zayat’s bridesmaid status on the first Saturday in May – provided trainer Bob Baffert with a fourth Derby win – placing him in a tie for second in all-time Derby triumphs – and made jockey Victor Espinoza just the seventh jockey to win three Kentucky Derbys – and only the sixth to win backto-back. Just over 24 hours earlier, the rapidly improving Lovely Maria powered to victory in the Longines Kentucky Oaks, providing a familiar scene when the julep cups were presented to the winners: the smiling “Jones Boys” – trainer J. Larry Jones and owner and former Kentucky Gov. Brereton Jones – beaming. This was their third win at America’s top race for 3-year-old fillies. And the two days of incredible racing and entertainment left quite an impact on

Wow. As a member of the Churchill Downs team, let me offer the sincerest and loudest possible “thank you” to all in our hometown, our region and beyond, who love the Derby. Because loving the Derby – no matter where you live, or whether you’ve even been beneath the Twin Spires – qualifies as being a part of its success. My gratitude extends especially to every member of the Churchill Downs team who worked to enhance the experience of every individual in crowd. The track’s employment grew from about 250 year-round to about 1,000 on a regular racing day to more than 12,000 for the Derby and Oaks. Every employee made this year’s events a personal challenge, and our guests benefited from their incredible efforts. Although some horses might have turned in disappointing efforts, it’s difficult for me to see any losers. So here’s my list of those who top an endless list of Oaks-Derby Weekend winners. American Pharoah: The 141st Derby winner had to wear down a pair of high quality opponents in runner-up Firing Line and his Bob Baffert-trained stablemate Dortmund. His time of 2:03.02 was not exceptional, and the trio came home in a slow final quarter that will lead some critics to say this crop of 3-year-olds, heralded pre-Derby as one of the best in recent years if not among the best ever, did not justify the hype. But for even mild naysayers, it is far too early to assess the true quality of this crop and their Derby performance. That is best viewed in the rear-view mirror. As for the time, let me mention two W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M • M A Y 7 , 2 0 1 5

Lovely Maria cruised to victory under jockey Kerwin Clark in the Longines Kentucy Oaks.
names: Sunday Silence and Easy Goer ran 1-2 over a muddy track in a 1989 Derby that had a winning time of 2:05. Though you could have timed their Derby with a sundial (had the sun been shining on a day widely remembered as the last time we saw snowflakes on Derby Day), those two horses are remembered as two of the 20th century’s greatest. I have a feeling Derby 141’s relatively moderate time could look very good a few months down the road when we see what these horses have accomplished in the interim. When he won on Saturday, American Pharoah did what the two most recent Derby participants on the male side of his pedigree could not accomplish. Sire Pioneerof the Nile finished second as the Derby favorite to 50-1 longshot winner Mine That Bird in 2009, while his sire, Empire Maker, was the best of his class of 3-year-olds but finished second to Funny Cide in the 2003 Derby. Although his Derby victory was not a smashing triumph, American Pharoah ran wide, lost ground and still turned back to Firing Line and Dortmund – strong and talented horses. With four consecutive wins coming into the Derby, the only serious question about American Pharoah’s ability was how he would respond to a challenge. American Pharoah is talented and now a proven fighter. If he improves, we’ll likely be in for an exciting ride over the four and a half weeks in the Triple Crown. Ahmed Zayat: The owner and breeder of American Pharoah had come achingly close to winning the Derby before his current star entered his life. He watched Pioneerof the Nile, Bodemeister (2011) and Nehro (2012) finish second in the race, and his probable favorite Eskendreya was knocked out of the 2010 Derby by injury. Zayat and his son Justin, his racing manager, were as ecstatic in their celebration of the victory as any owner in history. Now his colt heads on to the next objective. Bob Baffert: The Wonder Boy trainer who captured the racing world with rapid-fire Derby wins in ’97, ’98 and ’02 finally earned his fourth after a 13-year break. Baffert admitted this victory felt different from the others, and my guess is that he’s a different person than the one who earned those earlier Derby trophies. He is older and more experienced now, and he realizes how difficult it is to win this race. He also had a brush with mortality three years ago when he suffered a heart attack on a flight to Dubai. And that experience – along with the presence of 10-year-old son Bode, whom he clearly adores – has given perspective to his success. M A Y 7 , 2 0 1 5 • W W W . V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M
Baffert’s three previous Derby winners – Silver Charm, Real Quiet and War Emblem – each won the first two legs of the Triple Crown but missed in the Belmont Stakes. The perspective, experience and balance now in Baffert’s life could help get him over the top. Victor Espinoza: With his second consecutive Derby win, Espinoza became just the seventh jockey with three Derby victories and only the sixth with back-to-back wins. He also participated in the first winner’s circle spray of champagne from new Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs partner G.H. Mumm – and was gleeful in doing so. I’m thinking that’s an instant Derby tradition. It added even more smiles to an already joyous celebration. The Jones Boys: Trainer J. Larry Jones and owner/breeder Brereton Jones have placed a strong personal stamp on the Oaks with a partnership that produced this year’s winner Lovely Maria, along with Oaks winners Believe You Can (2012) and Proud Spell (2008). Larry Jones’ 2015 triumph came just months after he suffered a head injury when he fell from a horse during training. Despite that brush with danger, he was back in the saddle, galloping Lovely Maria – and thirdplace Oaks finisher I’m A Chatterbox – in the days leading up to Friday’s big race. Jones’ doctor protested when the Hopkinsville, Ky., native informed him of plans to return to the saddle. “It’s not the riding that’s the problem,” Jones countered. “It’s the fallin.” Let’s hope Larry Jones keeps riding for
26
a long time. He has three Oaks wins and a runner-up Derby finish on his resume. It would be a wonderful thing to see him sniffing roses one of these days. Kerwin Clark and Gary Stevens: Two veteran jockeys whose careers have been vastly different were in the spotlight with remarkable performances on Derby Weekend. Clark, known as “Boo Boo” to friends and fans, won his first Oaks aboard Lovely Maria. Clark, a solid rider in Louisiana and the Midwest, achieved that milestone at the age of 56, one month after he scored the first Grade I triumph of his career aboard the same filly in Keeneland’s Ashland. Stevens, 52, must have been able to smell the Derby’s roses when he surged to the lead in the stretch aboard Firing Line. The Hall of Famer and three-time Derby winner fell just short of grabbing his fourth win, but his ride was perfect, and Firing Line will be back. Travis Stone: Churchill Downs’ new announcer is just the eighth in the history of the Derby, but you would never know he was calling his first. His call was a wonderfully precise and energetic. The kid can only get better after a spectacular start, and I’m hoping Travis will be in the booth for a long time. John Asher: A man who had such celebrated difficulty in picking a Derby winner not only got American Pharoah home, but his standard daily weather forecast of sunny and 75 degrees at Churchill Downs was right on the money. Wow, indeed. Now start the countdown to May, 7 2016, and Kentucky Derby 142. VT P H OTO B Y R E E D PA L M E R | C H U R C H I L L D O W N S

Plans for building a stadium have been in the works since the team’s inception, with a few concepts being tossed around – some of which involve downtown locations, while others do not. Some involve a site that would fold Louisville into an MLS site, and some do not. “I think we’ll have to explore what we

Estopinal said Mayor Greg Fischer has been great, and his support has been tireless. “I think Mayor Fischer has become a bit of a soccer nut,” he said. “To see him and his sons at our games has been very nice.” “Louisville City FC has had many supporters along the way – most importantly, the folks who went to bat for us to get our locker rooms completed and built,” Estopinal said. “But also, working within the stadium setting has been the toughest part.” Earlier this year, American City Business Journals conducted an analysis on whether bringing a professional soccer team to Louisville was feasible. There has been controversy over this study, but in the end, Louisville proved able to support a USL franchise. “We’ve sort of felt that way from the beginning,” Estopinal said. “But it was nice to see that affirmed.” He has a systematic approach to achieving this goal. There is a dream that Louisville will compete in the MLS one day, though not before hard work and a little luck. The owners and staff at Louisville City believe Louisville can support it.

“When we thought there was a good chance Orlando City would move to the MLS, we started thinking about what we could do here in Louisville. The franchise was an asset that Orlando Sports Holdings had, which they didn’t envision holding on to, so we were able to purchase that franchise and bring it here,” said Estopinal. It was during the mid-80s when Estopinal first developed a passion for soccer, which then led him to follow the sport more intensely. “What you could find on television during that time, I would watch,” he said. Watching both his son, Andrew, and his daughter, Ashley, play in local soccer leagues in Louisville only furthered his passion and interest for the sport. “It was a great way to spend time with my kids,” he said.

Great Steamboat Race The Kentucky Derby Festival’s annual Great Steamboat Race took off near Waterfront Park on April 29. The Belle of Louisville, the oldest operating steamboat in the United States, won the race against the Belle of Cincinnati by accumulating more points in a series of five tasks, which included a calliope contest and other tasks performed by the belles’ crews. Four Roses Bourbon provided a special bourbon tasting on the Belle of Cincinnati. After the race, the winner was awarded a set of silver-plated antlers at an awards ceremony at Kroger’s Fest-A-Ville.

Derby Gala About 350 guests celebrated the Derby with an evening of elegant dining and dancing at the historic Kentucky Derby Museum April 24. The annual gala has developed a reputation as the event that sets the tone for the excitement leading up to the Derby. Ladies, in their finest ball gowns, and gentlemen, in their black tie apparel, enjoyed cocktails, dinner and dancing inside the museum. The Rupert’s Orchestra from Georgia provided the entertainment. Funds raised from the Gala benefited the museum’s education program, which teaches children about the equine industry.

We also got a close-up examination of the island’s unusual geological landmarks: the and I sent him happily on his way. For a guy who doesn’t snorkel but loves lobster, I was looking forward to a report on his return. Six hours later, when he burst in the door with sunburned feet and a happy grin, I knew the adventure had been a good one. It seems the catamaran sailed to the other side of Grenada, where the snorkeling enthusiasts had a wonderful time and most of the others just swam in the bright blue water. Then they were off to Hog Island. Rum punch was served on the trip out. Then after wading ashore, champagne and wonderful fish chowder started the picnic meal while the fragrant aroma of roasting lobsters filled the air. Potato salad and “leaves” (that’s what they call green salad) accompanied the buttery lobsters. The full and happy sailors enjoyed the hour and a half trip back to our ship. That evening, the entire ship participated in a barbecue on the top deck around the pool. These events are always lots of fun – and too much food. After dinner and before we sailed for St. Lucia, a local steel band entertained while local dancers taught all who could be taught some of the local dance moves. A good time was really had by all. The next morning we awoke to a lovely arrival at Castries, St. Lucia. We were in the same time zone as Louisville, but at the very eastern edge of

twin-peaked Piton mountains and a volcano that is still active. The best rum punch of our trip kicked off a great buffet lunch, and afterward, we began the long and beautiful ride back to Castries. We didn’t get to see much of Castries itself on this trip, and that’s too bad. The little we saw was lovely. We need to put it on our bucket list for next time. Our next port was an early morning arrival at Gustavia, St. Bart’s, in the French West Indies. Totally different from our last three Caribbean island visits, St. Bart’s has no high-rise apartment buildings or hotels. Known as a luxurious upmarket vacation destination, the largest hotel – which happens to be a five-star facility – only has 65 rooms. We took a panoramic tour in a private vehicle that circled the entire island. In the shopping area, all the famous labels are represented. Also, in the process, we saw the home that Russian ballet star Rudolf Nureyev once lived in, overlooking one of a dozen beautiful bays. Singer Mariah Carey’s splendid balconied home was around the next turn in the road. The St. Bart’s airport, rated as the third worst in the world from a safety standpoint, redefines tiny. Only small planes need think about landing there. Later in the day we set sail for San Juan, Puerto Rico, our last stop before landing in Ft. Lauderdale to take the “big bird” home. VT

‘Adaline’ earns an eye roll Film BENNETT DUCKWORTH
T
bennettduckworth.blogspot.com
Bennett Duckworth is a film fanatic who lives in Louisville and goes to see a movie in the theater at least once a week. He has kept a movie review blog since September of 2011 with the mission of writing about every new release he sees, as well as new trends in film making and classic films he loves. Read more of his reviews at his website.
“
he Age of Adaline” is a romantic fantasy, where the beautiful title character (Blake Lively) has a secret: She hasn’t aged a day since a bizarre accident in 1930s. After her condition attracted the interest of government agents in the ’50s, Adaline went into hiding, beginning a process of starting anew every decade – only informing her aging daughter (Ellen Burstyn) as to her identity and whereabouts.
a young modern beauty. Sadly, the magical realism concept doesn’t manage to gain much substance. In an attempt to do so, it misfires through the occasional use of third-person voice-over narration, which needlessly tries to justify the magic in the film with pseudo-scientific explanations. I don’t care if it seems like I’m watching “Cosmos.” My eyes are still rolling. Just as Adaline is torn between love and safety, I’m torn between congratulating a watchable melodrama and scolding it for being so superficial. I happen to love “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” to which “The Age of Adaline” will surely be compared. “Adaline” is thankfully shorter, simpler, and is not based on any previously written material. But it shortchanges us on the beauty of a journey through life and gives us a pandering story about cosmic forces guiding lovers to one another. Side note: Isn’t it unusual that Ellen Burstyn is playing a woman who ages faster than her parent only months after she did the same thing in “Interstellar”? VT
Adaline makes friends carefully and doesn’t make strong emotional attachments. Every romance has resulted in her heartbreaking decision to move on, unwilling to risk the possibility of her condition being rediscovered by curious authorities. In present-day San Francisco, she has just met a wonderful man (“Game of Thrones” star Michiel Huisman) for whom she gradually falls – with resistance. Once again torn between keeping a secret and having love in her life, she makes a discovery about the young man that reopens an old chapter of her past.

A good chunk of the film takes place at a weekend visit to a house in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, involving a performance by Harrison Ford, which is so surprisingly emotional I found myself wishing the entire story had been told from his perspective. Director Lee Toland Krieger (“Celeste & Jesse Forever”) creates a generally pleasant tone with his cinematographer, David Lanzenberg, who captures vistas gorgeously. Blake Lively also does wonders, working with such a vaguely defined character, bringing subtle hints of a troubled old soul beneath

Coliseum released their fifth full-length album, “Anxiety’s Kiss,� this week on vinyl, CD and cassette. The ever-evolving band has added more industrial and dark wave tones to their steady diet of hardcore and post-punk. The album finds them collaborating again with producer/engineer J. Robbins, an early inspiration to the band from his days playing in the bands Jawbox and Burning Airlines. Coliseum founder, guitarist and vocalist Ryan Patterson says Robbins “feels like our George Martin,� and the reference to the Beatles and their later, more experimental studio recordings reveals Patterson’s restless need to consistently try new ideas and a refusal to be boxed in by others’ perceptions. He told The Voice-Tribune more about how Coliseum’s new album came together. “Our influences are wide-ranging, individually and as a band, but there’s always a general connection revolving around British post-punk and American post-hardcore of the Dischord and Touch and Go variety,� Patterson says. “Personally, I’ve been greatly inspired over the past four to five years by Rowland S. Howard and his music, both solo and with Crime and the City Solution and Lydia Lunch. His influence as a guitarist weighed heavy on me during the ‘Anxiety’s Kiss’ sessions.� The album is their first to be distributed by Deathwish Inc. Patterson has had close ties to the label since before Coliseum started in 2003. “They are all part of our extended community through music, and we feel so incredibly fortunate that we have such wonderful people that are willing to release our music.� Do you agree that songwriters, in any genre, aren’t using topics like police brutality and other social ills like they did 20 years or 50 years ago? How have you stayed on course when others have fallen off ?

songs about love are trite and hollow. On the darker side, songs like the two centerpieces of “Anxiety’s Kiss,� “Dark Light Of Seduction� and “Sharp Fang, Pale Flesh,� each deal with forms of obsession through two different narratives. Ideas of shadows, submission and possession.
I write about those subjects from direct personal perspectives and from more abstract dramatic narratives. I find the different perspectives to be inspiring and interesting, enabling me to explore ideas in ways that don’t always directly involve my personal experiences but are shaped by my perspective and imagination. I find the songs of love important to write, because love is such a powerful thing – something that we are very lucky if we have it in our lives – yet so many

The music we are making now is more dynamic and interesting to me than the music we made a decade ago, with more nuance and more depth. To answer the question, yes, I am fired up. I feel that with “Anxiety’s Kiss,� and “Sister Faith� before it, Coliseum is on fire and we are making the best music we have ever made. Coliseum plays at the New Vintage on Friday, June 5.

PUZZLES
pets of the week Three-year-old Kenya is a happy girl who loves attention. She’s friendly, attentive and great on walks. Kenya prefers to eat in her crate. She really likes food and doesn’t want to share. Kenya will need plenty of exercise and would like a chance to curl up next to you and watch a little TV. Could you give Kenya the love and affection she craves? She’s spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Meet at the Kentucky Humane Society’s East Campus, 1000 Lyndon Lane. Meet Stella, a gorgeous four-year-old Domestic Shorthair! Stella has a beautiful tortoiseshell coat that you can’t help but envy. She’s also unique in that she doesn’t have a tail. She’s definitely a social butterfly and thrives on attention. When she isn’t getting the attention she wants, she’ll let you know by calling you back to her. She’d do well in a home that could provide her with lots of entertainment like climbing posts and interactive toys and games. Stella is spayed, micro-chipped and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Come visit her today at the Kentucky Humane Society’s Hikes Point Feeders Supply adoption center, 3079 Breckenridge Lane.
