I know what you&#8217;re thinking&#8230;.. what a fun place to work, and you would be correct. The fun will begin at 7am for you die-hard fans, and for those of you who will still be in bed at 7am (like me) it will still be exciting at around 10am&#8230; I promise!<br \/>\nWe will be celebrating in\u00a0true Churchill Downs fashion with mint juleps, big crazy hats, and the loudest cheering possible! While most of my Fairplex friends are excited about the race, I admit that I am most excited about the hats!!! We are even having a hat contest and you can sign up that day! I work here so I can&#8217;t participate in the contest&#8230; but I will still be wearing the most outrageous hat that my creative mind can come up with.<br \/>\nJoin\u00a0me at Fairplex Satellite\u00a0Wagering &#8211; It&#8217;s going to be a great party so bring on the horses and the hats!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s almost May and I have to say that I&#8217;m getting excited!
