It’s almost Kentucky Derby time in the bluegrass, which means it’s almost Ferdinand’s Ball time in the bluegrass, a KSR May tradition (although this year it’s in April). The annual gala in honor of the 1986 Kentucky Derby winner will kick off Louisville’s biggest weekend on Derby Thursday, as it always does, at the Muhammad Ali Center on April 30th.
Scheduled guests this year include Nashville recording artist, J.D. Shelburne; “Chicago P.D.” actor, Jon Seda; “Project Runway” Season 10 designer, Gunnar Deatherage; 2015 Miss Kentucky USA, Katie George; jockey legend, Jean Cruguet; former UK and NBA basketball star, Winston Bennett; jockey, Rosie Napravnik; and soon-to-be No.
