THE STORY
In partnership with Churchill Downs and in celebration of the 150th Anniversary of this iconic event, Brackish has created its first official Kentucky Derby collection. While racing is at the forefront, style is an indispensable part of the fanfare with fashion that combines charm and sophistication with the occasional whimsical touch. To honor the dress-to-impress mentality, each piece in our collection is inspired by the fashion-forward designs, bright colors and bold ensembles that can only be found trackside in Louisville.
While he only rode in one Derby race, Oliver Lewis made history being the first jockey to win Kentucky Derby on May 17, 1875 at the age of 19. Not only did he set an American record with his time of 2:37, Lewis won by two lengths in front of an estimated crowd of 10,000 spectators and in a field of 15 three-year-old horses.
