Kentucky Derby Watch Party Packs Ventura’s Derby Club

Derby Club in Ventura draws Kentucky Derby fans

VENTURA, Calif. — Kentucky Derby fans packed The Derby Room in Ventura on Saturday.

The venue is located inside the Derby Club at the Ventura County Fairgrounds and is especially popular during Triple Crown season.

Guests had the chance to place bets on all the races and watched Sovereign win on a muddy track, followed closely by Journalism.

Many patrons said they plan to return for the Preakness Stakes on May 17 and the Belmont Stakes on June 7.

"They need to come and enjoy it because it is fun," said Derby Club manager Eva Mora. "A lot of my regular customers are here every year. This is my 28th Kentucky Derby."

The Derby Club is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
