This weekend is the 145th running of the Kentucky Derby. I always enjoy selecting a favorite horse and watching the race. I will also enjoy having a nice post race dinner at the derby table.

| Kentucky Derby place setting. |
 |
| I used a Breyer's horse and rider in the centerpiece. |
 |
| I used real pony horseshoes on top of each place setting. My late Mom made the red ribbon roses on the mini straw hats. |
 |
| I used vintage stir sticks in the mint julep cups. |
 |
| I made the napkin rings using an old leather belt and snaffle bits. |
 |
| I need to update my place cards. These were made a few years ago. |
 |
| Overhead view of the table. |
 |
| I used a red and white buffalo check tablecloth. I made the plate charger covers (see below). The dinner plate is by MacKenzie Childs. I used a red rimmed china salad plate on top then added the pony horseshoe and a jockey silk. |

| The server. |
 |
| I used trophy tops inserted in to hay bales on the server. |
 |
| I added a riding helmet and crop to the server. |
 |
| I painted the serving dish and platter using Sharpie's. |
 |
| Enjoy the Derby! |
