Kentucky Derby Live Updates: Medina Spirit Wins by a Half Length

If walls could talk, this unassuming house on Central Avenue, whose view from the porch perfectly frames Churchill Downs’s iconic Twin Spires, would have plenty of stories to tell.

The house, once owned by a member of the indie rock band Pavement, Bob Nastanovich, is known for its all-day (and night) parties. Rockers and professional athletes regularly rub elbows with trainers and jockeys and racegoers who happen to pass by on the way to the gate (and sometimes never leave).

The house is now owned by the Louisville-based horse trainer Grant Forster, who lives there full time and carries on the Derby party tradition.
