As horse racing track Kempton Park draws up its autumn programme, party planners are being invited to consider the venue for corporate events, wedding receptions and parties there.
Kempton Park has announced a long list of events including the famous King George VI Steeplechase.
Running from October to April, some of the world's best jockeys and horses will come between Churchill Downs and Kempton Park.
Amy Starkey, managing director of Kempton Park Racecourse, said the race course was "delighted" to be in partnership with Churchill Downs.
She said: "The establishment of the Kentucky Derby Challenge Stakes represents a fantastic opportunity to increase the international profile of Kempton as well as promoting the Kentucky Derby to European based owners and trainers.
"This exciting initiative is the culmination of considerable enterprise and hard work by our Director of Racing, Brian Clifford, together with John Smee from Jockey Club Racecourses. Thanks to their efforts, we are celebrating the launch of a unique partnership, one which will enable Kempton Park to take the spotlight under the floodlights in the build up to the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs."
