The Kentucky Derby takes place today and to celebrate, ThistleDown Racino will host its second annual hat contest. Live races start at 12:55 p.m. and run until approximately 4:30 p.m. Races from all across the country — including the Kentucky Derby — will also be shown on the racino’s numerous HD TVs. The person with the best hat will win a Macy’s gift card, and live bands will perform on the track apron and at the Center Bar inside the racino. (Niesel)
