You’ve heard the saying April showers brings May flowers? It also brings two of the biggest days for horse racing. The Kentucky Derby takes place on May 7 followed by Steeplechase on May 14.
And women in the south love to wear hats to these events. We found these great hat inspirations at Garden & Gun for her derby event.
