LOUISVILLE, KY – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following comments today in honor of the Kentucky Derby at historic Churchill Downs:

“As a proud Kentuckian, I am honored to once again be home to enjoy the Kentucky Derby, the greatest two minutes in sports. Every year on the first Saturday in May, the eyes of the world are on Kentucky as we celebrate the Run for the Roses. I want to welcome all those who traveled to the Bluegrass State this year. I hope you enjoy your time in the Commonwealth, and please come back soon.”
