LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) -Looking ahead to the first Saturday in May, Grammy-nominated country music star Shaboozey will headline FanDuel’s Kentucky Derby Party. The invite-only party is at Paristown in Louisville on Friday, May 2.
“The Kentucky Derby is a celebration of tradition, energy, and unforgettable moments,” said Andrew Moore, General Manager of Racing at FanDuel. “Horse racing is where FanDuel’s journey began, and it remains a central part of who we are as a company. Between the iconic FanDuel party and our donation to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, we’re looking forward to making FanDuel’s presence in Louisville known.”
Shaboozey is known for hits like “A Bar Song” and “Good News.”
“I’m hyped to be part of the Derby this year,” said Shaboozey. “It’s one of those bucket list events you dream about playing and we’ll be bringing serious vibes to Louisville with FanDuel.”
Last year’s inaugural event featured performances by Luke Bryan and Ne-Yo. As part of the celebration, FanDuel will make a $100,000 donation in support of the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, a nonprofit that helps retired racehorses after their time on the track is over.
“For 5 years, FanDuel has generously supported Thoroughbred aftercare and the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance through an annual donation,” TAA President Walt Robertson said. “The TAA is thrilled to continue to receive the donation in 2025 and grateful to FanDuel for its continued support.”
