Welcome to our photo series Eater Scenes, where Eater photographers visit some of the city's great restaurants racetracks to capture them at a certain, and very specific, point in the day. Today, it's the Churchill Downs wet paddock pavilion, wet grandstand and dry concourse before the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby.
-
Prepared patrons.
-
Do not cross that line unless you want to get wet.
-
What in better weather would be a packed paddock pavilion.
-
Bad weather but still good times.
-
Empty seats.
-
Staying dry...
-
and betting.
In case you haven't heard, it's raining for today's 139th running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. So while there are empty spots in the stands and paddock pavilion, the concession lines are winding like a 20 horse post parade.
