Sentient Jet is celebrating its 10th year at the 152nd Kentucky Derby and is again the preferred private aviation partner.
Sentient Jet is continuing its position as the preferred private aviation partner for the 152nd Kentucky Derby.
This year represents a “decade-long presence” at the race for the jet card unit of Flexjet, Inc.
On tap will be its eighth annual Derby Day Breakfast.
Repeal at Hotel Distill on Louisville’s Whiskey Row will serve as the venue.
Food Network star Chef Bobby Flay will host the Southern-inspired breakfast.
On the menu will be poached eggs with fried green tomatoes paired with Castle & Key Bourbon planter’s punch.
Flay will also share his picks for the race.
Multi-Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski will also be on hand.
Sentient is renewing its partnership with Reddam Racing for the first time since its win with Nyquist in 2016.
This time, the private jet company is backing Pavlovian, trained by Doug O’Neill, a multiple Kentucky Derby–winning trainer, who conditioned 2016 Derby winner Nyquist.
Veteran jockey Edwin Maldonado will ride Pavlovian, who will be sporting a Sentient Jet–branded blanket throughout the week’s festivities.
Pavlovian’s odds of winning the race range from 30-to-1 to 50-to-1.
Betting on longshots isn’t new for the private jet flight provider.
Sentient Jet backed Country House, a 65-to-1 winner in 2019.
This year, Sentient Jet will debut a series of branded takeovers across most exclusive VIP areas at Churchill Downs.
There will be activations at The Clubhouse, Jockey Club, and Turf Club.
President Alan Walsh says, “The Kentucky Derby represents more than a race.”
He adds, “It is an enduring cultural moment built around tradition, passion, and shared experience.”
Walsh continued, “Celebrating our 10th year at Churchill Downs reflects the importance this weekend holds for many of our card winners,” adding, “As more travelers seek access to moments that truly
matter, we remain focused on delivering not simply transportation, but a seamless and thoughtful experience built around how they choose to spend their time.”
Louisville is expected to handle over 1,000 private flights this weekend, according to the company.
