June 15, 2007 - The official “launch” of the gotbourbon.com web site was held at Churchill Downs, on Friday, June 15, 2007.  We celebrated the kick off of the site by gathering with friends and family at the historic track and by being the official sponsor of the eight race on the card that day.  Below are the details and pictures from the race and from that wondrous day.  First we would like to thank Churchill Downs for allowing us such an honor.  As well we would like to thank the Churchill Downs staff that took care of us so well and treated us like celebrities, when we were simply flattered to be able to present the gotbourbon.com trophy to the winning owners.  Speaking of, congratulations to Timeswept, the stunning 5-year old gray mare that captured the race.  Also, congratulations to the winning owners, Mr. and Mrs. Reeves, it was a pleasure meeting you.  As well, congratulations to the winning jockey and trainer.  You all captured our memory and we will be following you and your horse for years to come.   Bourbon, Horse Racing and Churchill Downs all go together very well, so what better venue could we have asked for to officially “announce” the web site to the public.   Actually, one of gotbourbon.com’s partners had a winning ticket on Timeswept, who paid $34.60 to win, so everything kind of fell in to place.   Due to the excitement and how well the day turned out for us we have actually decided to make it an annual event and are thinking about sponsoring another race in the fall meet, so stay tuned for more.  Thanks to all!
