Trump arrived at Churchill Downs at 6 p.m. for his $75,000-per-person event. His arrival was concealed from the general public and the press. The event is part of his ongoing battle with his home state’s Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell. He was led inside the track via a side hallway previously used by caterers and employees, where his entourage greeted him with an American flag and a Kentucky flag.
Before he came, the staff closed drapes to keep the press and public at bay, while FBI operatives in camouflage with automatic guns stood guard.
Whispers about Trump’s arrival circulated among the crowd, which had been backed up for twenty minutes. ‘Trump, Trump, Trump,’ some exclaimed. Others appeared to be upset by the wait.

It wasn’t even stopped for the worldwide COVID pandemic. The Kentucky Derby was merely rescheduled to be conducted in September 2020, never for this prestigious tradition to be broken.
