The Kentucky Derby

The Kentucky Derby has been described as the most exciting two minutes in sports. Winning the Derby is a life-changing event.

Imagine watching your horse leave the paddock at Churchill Downs on the first Saturday in May to the strains of 'My Old Kentucky Home' in front of a crowd of nearly 150,000 cheering fans. It is an experience of a lifetime. Now imagine walking into the winner's circle with the winner of the Kentucky Derby.

J.B. and Kevin McKathan have not only imagined it, they've experienced it, not once but twice with their clients.

On the road to success... McKathan Brothers is where the road begins.
