Fortress at the 149th Kentucky Derby
08.05.2023
It was another successful Kentucky Derby for the Fortress team, and it was bigger than ever. At this year’s event – As well as the five others in the week leading up to it – We managed primary access control, secondary access control for VIPs/Clubs, and parking scanning. We used a variety of devices ranging from pods to handhelds, including custom new secondary devices for Churchill Downs. More than 150,000 fans were in attendance to see Mage win the race at the annual 149th event!
