The hats get bigger, the bets get bolder, and the horses are closer than you think.

Join us for the 2nd Annual Derby Party at 1619 Mar Drive in Val Mar, a private equestrian community where race day comes to life in a way you won’t find anywhere else.

For anyone coming from Chicago, contact me to discuss how I can help make travel easier or more affordable for you! 

We’ll have live Kentucky Derby coverage, betting opportunities, and a laid-back afternoon filled with light drinks and food. Step outside and meet something truly special, a direct connection to racing history, with Secretariat’s great grandson in the yard. Guests are welcome to meet the horses and experience the setting that makes this property so unique.

Come dressed to impress. We’ll be hosting a Best Dressed Contest, so bring your boldest derby look, whether that’s classic, over-the-top, or somewhere in between.

It’s not just a party. It’s a full Derby experience, set in one of the most unique communities you’ll come across.
