Well watch it on the news since I live southwest of Downtown but in the county. One thing I know how the race will start;
The Belle of Louisville might appear to be late but she is full steam coming to the starting line (Bridge) and when the horn is blown to begin, the Belle of Louisville crosses the line and the race begins. back in '08, the Delta Queen dropped ballast and ordered all to her bow to boost her speed and beat the Louisville, but now, the Queen is under a campaign to continue service so it leave the Belle of Louisville and Cincinnati to race each other. They start on opposites banks of the river. The Cincinnati raced the Louisville and Queen in 08 here and she got familiar with the river but with the Queen gone, the competition got harder since the Belle of Louisville is full speed flying off the line. They will pass the I-65 John F. Kennedy Bridge and I-64 Bridge and pass the Falls of the Ohio and go by Downtown Louisville:
For the largest city in Kentucky, Louisville hold the greatest of stuff, the Kentucky Derby with Churchill Downs:
I've been to Churchill downs many times, it is where the Kentucky Derby horse races are held.
And it holds Thunder Over Louisville:
But the greatest I like is the Great Steam Boat Race:
The picture of the Steamboat race was from 08 with the Belle of Louisville and the Delta Queen. This year, I am hoping the Louisville Belle can beat the Cincinnati Belle.
