Meet the Man Behind the Famous Kentucky Derby Bugle Call

Steve Buttleman is the Official Bugler of Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby. He plays the bugle call, "Call to the Post", at every Derby for 27 years. Steve is also the only trumpeter in history to play all three Triple Crown Races. Last year's Derby attracted an audience of 14.4 million.  Steve is on his way to Keeneland, a track in Lexington, about an hour from his home in Louisville. The next few weeks are the busiest of Steve's year. His daily commute starts on April 30th. It's the start of the Churchill Down racing season.
