The 149th Kentucky Derby has not been without significant controversy, but the race never fails to bring out the most adventurous hat-wearers of any American sporting event. For many who attend, the annual race at Churchill Downs provides an opportunity to show off homemade creations and high-fashion pieces — from headbands with flowers to full-on art pieces made to look like mini racetracks. The results are a wild ride of their own.
