DERBY141 wrap-up
FERDINAND’S BALL GALA Ferdinand’s Ball, an annual fundraiser created in honor of Ferdinand, the 1986 Kentucky Derby winner, took place April 30 at The Muhammad Ali Center. This unique Derby kickoff gala featured celebrity hosts and guests, live entertainment, gourmet foods and drinks from a premium open bar, plus a silent auction, along with breathtaking views of the riverfront and downtown. Proceeds benefited Old Friends thoroughbred retirement center in Georgetown, Ky., which cares for horses whose racing and breeding careers have come to an end.
