The Longines Kentucky Oaks is America’s premier and most lucrative race for 3-year old fillies, Est. May 19, 1875. Oaks day at Churchill Downs is the second highest attended horse race in the United States, second only to the Kentucky Derby the following day. During Kentucky Oaks Day, the historic racetrack is decorated in pink bunting and more the 100,000 guests are asked to prominently incorporate pink into their attire in an effort to raise funds to fight against breast and ovarian cancer. This year, the Sorg Opera House is partnering with the Swire Inn (www.swireinn.com) for a ladies ONLY event to bring all the Derby weekend festivities to downtown Middletown!
All women will be standing up for awareness of breast and ovarian cancer. Celebrate by wearing pink! From hats to gloves, formal or casual, pearls or heels. And of course, don't forget your Derby hat! As part of this year’s Pink Out, Sorg Opera House and The Swire Inn in will donate $1.00 for every featured derby drink sold to support cancer awareness in Middletown. The featured drinks are the Derby signatures, the Mint Julep and the Stargazer Lily.
