The Governor and the Queen
Getting Queen Elizabeth to the gazebo on the infield side of the track where Gov. Enrie Fletcher watches the Derby was too much of a security risk. Speaking to reporters outside the 6th flood media center, Fletcher said he invited the queen to watch the Derby with him and First Lady Glenna Fletcher, but Her [Majesty] declined. He said he would get to meet her, however, before the big race.
The Queen Arrives at the Downs
The motorcade for Queen Elizabeth II arrived at Churchill Downs shortly before 3:30 p.m., after she flew into the Louisville International Airport.The Queen is expected to make a short stay at the track, and possibly a brief public appearance, before leaving the same way she came. Her entourage came in past Gate 17, and entered through a non-public entrance.
