“My Old Kentucky Home,” the controversial state song, will be performed at this year’s Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs vice president of communications Tonya Abeln confirmed via email Monday.
“Churchill Downs gives careful consideration to our traditions each year,” Abeln wrote to WFPL News. “For this year’s Kentucky Derby, we are welcoming the University of Louisville marching band and the accompanying U of L choir to perform the state song of Kentucky.”
